Correlation between presence of unusually large multimers of VWF and serum creatinine levels of patients with sepsis-induced DIC and ADAMTS13 activity levels lower than 20%
. | Presence, n = 26 . | Absence, n = 25 . | P . |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatinine, mg/dL | 2.39 ± 2.24 | 1.34 ± 1.35 | < .05* |

|---|---|---|---|
| Creatinine, mg/dL | 2.39 ± 2.24 | 1.34 ± 1.35 | < .05* |

Values are mean ± SD.
To convert creatinine from milligrams per deciliter to micromoles per liter, multiply milligrams per deciliter by 88.4.
Presence indicates unusually large VWF multimers present in the plasma of patients; absence, unusually large VWF multimers absent in the plasma of patients. NS, not significant.
Statistically significant (Welch t test).
