Peak values of IL-8 in plasma and of erythrocyte bound IL-8
| Plasma (n=43) | Erythrocyte bound (n=21) | |
|---|---|---|
| PTCA | 19.4 (5.8 to 165)2-150 | 49.9 (18.7 to 120.1) |
| Thrombolysis | 19.1 (2.4 to 224) | 61.7 (22.2 to 148) |
| Conservative | 9.9 (4.3 to 30.6)2-150 | 61.1 (23 to 142.4) |
| Reperfusion | 16.6 (2.4 to 224) | 58.5 (18.7 to 120) |
| No reperfusion | 14.9 (5.6 to 62.1) | 60.2 (23 to 148) |
Values are medians (range) in pg/ml. Differences between groups were tested with the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed data.
↵2-150 Difference between plasma IL-8 in the PTCA group v the conservative group, p=0.0206. Other differences between groups were not significant.
