Figure 3 Decrease in LS depends on the mean decrease in GOT levels (steatohepatitis) during alcohol withdrawal. A: Group 1 to 3 differ significantly (aP < 0.05) with regard to the mean decrease in GOT during alcohol withdrawal. Group 1 included patients with severe alcoholic steatohepatitis and GOT levels > 200 U/L; group 2 included patients with GOT values between 100 and 200 U/L; group 3 were patients with GOT values < 100 U/L. B: LS decreased by 8.4, 3.5 and 1.8 kPa, respectively, with a significant difference between groups 1 and 3 (bP < 0.01) (details in text).
