Serum biomarker levels among the DFU patients with and without kidney dysfunction or dyslipidemia. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001. KD, kidney dysfunction; IL, interleukin; IFN, interferon; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; SII, systemic inflammation index; PNI, Prognostic nutritional index. Significant differences were found in IL4, IL6, IL8, TNFα, NLR, PLR, SII, and PNI levels between DFU patients with and without kidney dysfunction, while in IL12P70 and IL17 levels between DFU patients with and without dyslipidemia.
