Figure 9 Bar diagram illustrating the circulating NGF levels, determined by test ELISA, in patients with documented cirrhosis/HCC. NGF amounts, reported with regard to the etiology, is calculated either as mean ± SD (all patients examined) or as mean values for Child-Pugh class A (score = 5-6), for Child-Pugh class B (score = 7-9) and for Child-Pugh class C (score = 10-15). As a control, mean ± SD of circulating NGF levels from some healthy individuals is also reported.
