Figure 1. The mean maternal plasma sTRAIL concentration in non-pregnant women, uncomplicated pregnancy and pregnancy with acute pyelonephritis. Women with uncomplicated pregnancy had a significantly lower mean maternal plasma sTRAIL concentration than non-pregnant women (mean ± SD: 31.5 ± 10.1 pg/mL versus mean ± SD: 53.3 ± 12.5 pg/mL; p < 0.001). Pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis had a significantly lower mean maternal plasma sTRAIL concentration than those with uncomplicated pregnancy (mean ± SD: 20.5 ± 6.6 pg/mL versus mean ± SD: 31.5 ± 10.1 pg/mL; p < 0.001).

Figure 2. The mean maternal plasma sTRAIL concentration in pregnancy with acute pyelonephritis without bacteremia and those with bacteremia. Pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis who had bacteremia had a significantly lower mean maternal plasma concentration of sTRAIL than those without bacteremia (mean ± SD: 15.1 ± 4.8 pg/mL versus mean ± SD: 24.7 ± 4.6 pg/mL; p < 0.001).
