Figure 2 The relationships between D/D0 glucose and effluent biomarker levels.
The glucose absorption rate was represented by D/D0 glucose and was compared with effluent MMP-2 level (A), effluent IL-6 level (B), effluent hyaluronan level (C) and effluent CA125 level (D). The biomarker levels of the one patient with EPS are shown by open circles. MMP-2: Matrix metalloproteinase-2; IL-6: Interleukin-6; CA125: Cancer antigen 125; EPS: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis.
