Fig. 1 Arterial compliance (COMPart) in patients with cirrhosis according to Child–Turcotte class. Open columns: basal period; dark columns: after intravenous infusion of 40 g human serum albumin. Hatched area: normal reference [10,11]. #ANOVA of basal period before albumin infusion. Mean±SEM. Journal of Hepatology 2003 39, 24-31DOI: (10.1016/S0168-8278(03)00160-0)
Fig. 2 Plasma renin activity (PRA) (a) and plasma aldosterone concentration (b) in patients with cirrhosis according to the Child–Turcotte class before and after infusion of human serum albumin. For explanation of columns and signs see Fig. 1. Statistical tests are non-parametric. Journal of Hepatology 2003 39, 24-31DOI: (10.1016/S0168-8278(03)00160-0)
