Clinical value of serum and urine endocan in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome

The pairwise group comparisons of the urinary endocan levels (median; Q1-Q3) revealed statistically significant differences between Group 1 (2148; 1592-3068 ng/gCr) and Group 2 (1274; 733-1565 ng/gCr), and between Group 1 and Group 3 (954; 517-1966 ng/gCr) (P0.05). The serum endocan level showed no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). When all groups were evaluated together, urinary endocan level showed positive correlations with white blood cell counts (r= 0.63, P.
