  1. Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; APRIL, a proliferation-inducing ligand; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CRP, C-reactive protein; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; ICU, intensive care unit; IL-10, interleukin-10; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PCT, procalcitonin; r, correlation coefficient; suPAR, soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; U6, RNU6B.
  2. r- and P-values are determined by the Spearman rank correlation.
