76%).Median CRP and WBC were 9.2 mg/L and 5 × 103/μL, respectively.CRP levels but not WBC significantly decreased after TIPS ( p < 0.001).Of note, decrease in CRP levels was significantly associated with a better survival ( p = 0.012).As expected, cytokine levels were significantly higher in the cirrhotic patients as compared to healthy controls affecting 30 of 48 measured cytokines (FDR < 0.05).Pattern of SI did not differ between patients with RA and variceal bleeding except from IL-6, which was significantly higher in patients with RA ( p < 0.001).One month after TIPS most cytokines were still measured at levels comparable to baseline and some, e.g.IL-2, were even increased.However, during further follow-up we documented a continuous decrease in the majority of cytokines.For 25 cytokines, including IL-6 and IL-2, levels were significantly lower at month 6 compared to the time of TIPS insertion (FDR < 0.05; figure).Moreover, 7 of the 30 cytokines (including IL-2), which were elevated prior to TIPS, did not show any statistical difference anymore compared to healthy controls.When correlating cytokine changes with the clinical status, IL-6 appeared to be of particular interest: Decrease in IL-6 was associated with a significant improvement in MAMC and numerical increase in HGS and BMI.Figure: Decrease in SI after TIPS.
