Dual-sugar tests of small intestinal permeability are poor predictors of bacterial infections and mortality in cirrhosis: A prospective study

Figure 2 Correlation of intestinal permeability index with surrogates of inflammation and enterocyte mass. Scatter dot plots of the intestinal permeability (IP) index in cirrhotic patients with serum concentrations of (A) lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), (B) Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and (C) intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP). Spearman’s rho and P value for the non-parametric correlation are indicated.
