Dynamic Monitoring of sTREM-1 and Other Biomarkers in Acute Cholangitis

Figure 2

Dynamic monitoring of WBC, CRP, PCR, T, and sTREM-1 in three groups. WBC: white blood cell; CRP: C-reactive protein; PCT: procalcitonin; T: temperature; sTREM-1: soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1. Group A (blue), AC patients with sepsis; Group B (green), AC patients without sepsis; Group C (yellow), inpatients without AC or other infections. (a) The sTREM-1 levels among three groups had significant difference from day 1 to day 5. And both in Groups A and B, sTREM-1 levels declined fast between day 1 and day 2 (). (b) The WBC level in Group A was higher than that in Groups B and C from day 1 to day 5, and it was higher in Group B than in Group C. (c) CRP levels among three groups had significant difference for all days (), except CRP levels between Group A and Group B on day 1. (d) Group A had a significantly higher PCT level than Groups B and C in all days; and Group B’s PCT level was higher than Group C’s from day 1 to day 5. (e) On day 1 and day 3, Group A’s T was higher than that of Groups B and C; on day 2, Group A and B’s T was higher than Group C, while there was no difference between Groups A and B.
