Serum levels of protein degradation products.
<p>Relative levels of serum protein degradation products, including acetylated amino acids, dipeptides, and urea cycle intermediates. Serum levels of each metabolite were compared using paired Welch's <i>t</i> tests, and <i>q</i> values were calculated to account for false discovery rates to correct for multiple comparisons.</p><p>Serum levels of protein degradation products.</p
Global network analysis of relative measured metabolites in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and severe AAH.
<p>Red nodes depict metabolites that are increased in severe AAH when compared to alcoholic cirrhosis; yellow nodes depict metabolites that are decreased in severe AAH when compared to alcoholic cirrhosis.</p

Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Patients.
<p>Baseline characteristics of patients. All values are expressed as medians and IQRs unless otherwise specified. Continuous variables were compared with Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> test. Categorical variables were compared with Fisher's exact test. N/A: not applicable; NS: not signifnicant (<i>p</i>>0.05).</p><p>Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Patients.</p
Serum levels of significantly altered metabolites between AAH survivors and nonsurvivors.
<p>Relative levels of serum metabolites between survivors and nonsurvivors with severe AAH. Serum levels of each metabolite were compared using paired Welch's <i>t</i> tests, and <i>q</i> values were calculated to account for false discovery rates to correct for multiple comparisons. AA, amino acid; BCAA, branched-chain amino acid; FA, fatty acid. *Fold change Survivor vs. Non-survivor.</p><p>Serum levels of significantly altered metabolites between AAH survivors and nonsurvivors.</p
