LPS concentrations before and after TIPS. A: Schematic view of the portal and systemic circulation, showing mean LPS quantities before and after TIPS placement. B: Individual LPS concentrations of the portal and systemic circulation and the transhepatic gradient before TIPS (* = statistical significant difference) C: Amount of LPS (black bars) and LBP (grey bars) in portal and systemic circulatory compartments shown as percentage of the values in the portal vein, before and after TIPS.
