Figure 3 Correlations between serum zinc concentrations and liver function parameters in patients with chronic liver disease. A: Scatter plot showing the relationship between serum zinc and total bilirubin concentration (Spearman r = -0.363, P < 0.01); B: Scatter plot showing the relationship between serum zinc and international normalized ratio (Spearman r = -0.234, P = 0.037); C: Scatter plot showing the relationship between serum zinc and prothrombin time (Spearman r = -0.255, P = 0.022). INR: International normalized ratio.
