Figure 1

Inflammatory burden scores (number of elevated biomarkers) and individually elevated biomarkers by HIV/HCV group. Elevated individual biomarkers were defined as a serum biomarker level >75th percentile. Inflammatory burden score, was defined as the presence of zero, one, two, or three or more elevated biomarkers. For individual biomarkers, the prevalence of elevated IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 and cystatin C was significantly different across the four HIV/HCV groups (p < 0.05).
