CRP and Decreased liver function: ZFP concentrations negatively correlated with liver dysfunction (MELD: rs = −0.486, p < 0.0001, bilirubin: rs = −0.486, p < 0.0001, INR: rs = −0.405, p < 0.0001) and systemic inflammation (CRP: rs = −0.310, p < 0.0001, WBC: rs = −0.239, p = 0.002), while the strongest positive correlation was observed with albumin (rs = 0.444, p < 0.0001) (Figure 1G).
