Figure 8.
Figure shows the heatmap of the metabolites that significantly changed across MELD-Na score classes. While mean value of several metabolite levels shown in the first 2/3 of the heat map increased in subjects with MELD-Na score 20–40 compared with those with lower MELD-Na scores, mean values of several other metabolites (e.g. sphingomyelins, glycerophosphocholines and glycerophosphoethanolamines) in the last 1/3 of the heat map decreased.
