Fig 3. Serum levels of BSP in different subgroups of patients with liver cirrhosis.

Fig 3

(A) BSP serum levels (both portal-venous as well as from liver vein) were independent on the presence of ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis. (B) BSP serum levels (both portal-venous (PV) as well as from liver vein (HV)) were similar in patients with or without hepatorenal syndrome. (C) The presence of esophageal varices had no influence on BSP serum concentrations (both portal-venous (PV) as well as from liver vein (HV)) in patients with liver cirrhosis. (D) BSP serum levels (both portal-venous as well as from liver vein) were unaltered between cirrhotics with or without hepatic encephalopathy. (E) BSP serum levels from portal-venous and liver vein demonstrated an almost perfect correlation.
