The soluble form of two scavenger receptors CD163 and CD206 (sCD163 and sMR/sCD206), expressed by circulating blood monocytes and macrophages, were present in plasma, ascites and other body fluids (Grønbæk et al., 2020; Nielsen et al., 2020) and associated with severity and prognosis of chronic liver diseases (Grønbæk et al., 2016; Kazankov et al., 2016; Rainer et al., 2018; Grønbæk et al., 2020; Nielsen et al., 2020; Stengel et al., 2020) and cirrhosis (Holland-Fischer et al., 2011; Grønbaek et al., 2012; Rode et al., 2013; Waidmann et al., 2013). Here, CD163 is linked to Cirrhosis.
