Serum LBP is increased in patients with ALS and correlates with disease burden and disease progression rate. (A) LBP was increased in the serum of all patients compared with HC (*p < 0.001). (B) LBP was elevated in fast (*p < 0.001) and slowly (*p < 0.001) progressing patients compared with HC. LBP was elevated in the fast progressing patients compared with slowly progressing patients (p < 0.001). (C) Serum LBP positively correlated with the patient’s burden of disease. (D) Serum LBP positively correlated with the patient’s disease progression rate. (E) There was a positive correlation between LBP and sCD14. (F) Serum LBP levels were an accurate indicator of disease progression rates.
