Urinary sediment GATA-3 mRNA levels are elevated and T-bet mRNA levels are decreased during acute illness in PUUV-induced severe AKI.

Abstract

<p>Severe AKI is >3-fold rise in serum Cr during acute illness compared to a 6 month baseline. Illness day 1 is the first calendar day of reported fever. a) Urinary sediment CD3ε mRNA relative expression compared to 2 week baseline value b) Urinary sediment GATA-3 mRNA relative expression compared to 2 week baseline value c) Urinary sediment T-bet mRNA relative expression compared to 2 week baseline value. Symbols and error bars are mean±S.E.</p
