Associations between TGF-β1 Levels and Markers of Hemolysis, Inflammation, and Tissue Remodeling in Pediatric Sickle Cell Patients

Figure 2

Correlations between TGF-β1 levels and laboratory biomarkers in individuals with HbSS and HbSC. (a) Positive correlations between TGF-β1 levels and RBC, Hb, Ht, platelet, and TIMP-1 in individuals with HbSS. (b) Positive correlations between TGF-β1 levels and leukocytes, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, AST, VLDL-C, triglycerides, heme, and TIMP-1 in HbSC individuals.
