Increased neutrophil activation and NETs associate in SSc patients with vascular complications. (A-B) Levels of calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and MPO-DNA complexes were analyzed by ELISA in plasma samples of SSc patients with vascular complications (n = 54) and SSc patients without vascular complications (n = 71). Patients were grouped according to their clinical type of vascular complication. Levels of calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and MPO-DNA complexes in SSc patients with (C-D) digital ulcer, (E-F) pulmonary artery hypertension, and (G-H) history of renal crisis respectively. Mean is presented as a horizontal line; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ns = not significant by t-test
