Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plasma levels were significantly increased in patients with alcohol induced cirrhosis with Child-Pugh stage C disease (n=34; median 1.4 pg/ml; range 0-63) compared with healthy controls (n=43; median 0 pg/ml; range 0-0) and patients with Child-Pugh stage A (n=18; median 0 pg/ml; range 0-0.7). Moreover, significant differences were found between healthy controls and Child-Pugh stage B (n=22; median 0 pg/ml; range 0-6.7). Box plots show median and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Individual data points are mean serum levels above or below the 95% CI. ***p<0.001.
