KP was highly activated in patients with cirrhosis, demonstrated by higher levels of activity in the rate-limiting enzymes, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, and tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase in both CHE (65.04±20.72, p=0.003) and patients with NHE (64.85±22.10, p=0.015) compared to HC (40.95±7.301). This evidence concerns the gene NPPA and Cirrhosis.
