Morphometric analyses of lymphatic vessels based on D2-40 immunostaining and vascular vessels based on CD34 immunostaining in control, Child A-LC, and Child C-LC liver samples. Capillary blood vessel density (CBVD) and lymphatic capillary vessels density (LCVD) are expressed in pixels/sq mm. Data are mean ± SEM. A: CBVD of control, Child A-LC and Child C-LC the entire patient population (n = 28). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's PLSD. B: LCVD of control, Child A-LC and Child C-LC liver samples. (n = 28). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Fisher's PLSD.
