These differences were maintained when the patients were grouped attending to the stage of clinical progression or classification, i.e., the LAIR-1 expression increased in blood monocytes even in early clinical stages of cirrhosis (P = 0.0459 compensated cirrhosis, and P = 0.0017 decompensated cirrhosis) (Figures 2(e) and 2(f)). Here, LAIR1 is linked to Cirrhosis.
