Correlations between components of the classical and alternative RAS (PRA-S, Ang I, Ang II and Ang 1–7) and parameters of liver disease severity (MELD), severity of portal hypertension (HVPG), liver stiffness (LSM), endothelial dysfunction (vWF) and inflammation (IL-6). Correlations were assessed using Spearman’s Rho. ∗ denotes p values < 0.05, whereas ∗∗ indicates p values < 0.001. Ang angiotensin, HVPG hepatic venous pressure gradient, IL-6 interleukin-6, LSM liver stiffness measurement, MELD model for end-stage liver disease, RAS renin–angiotensin system, PRA-S plasma renin activity surrogate, vWF von Willebrand factor antigen.
