Figure 1

Comparison of serum sex hormone levels in patients with MSAP and SAP. (a) Estradiol and (b) progesterone and (c) testosterone levels in MSAP and SAP patients. The serum sex hormone level was determined during the first 48 hours following admission. Patients without AKI were identified by the left bars, and patients with AKI were identified by the right bars. Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) were shown above each plot. Statistical significance was determined with the two-sided Mann-Whitney test. Note: AKI: acute kidney injury; MSAP: moderately severe acute pancreatitis; SAP: severe acute pancreatitis.
