Figure 1
Figure 1 Fecal E1 test (μg/g feces) in patients with ACP, ALC or ASA. Reference lines for altered E1: < 200 μg/g, and severely altered E1: < 100 μg/g. ACP vs ALC, P < 0.001; ACP vs ASA, P < 0.001; ALC vs ASA, P = 0.747.
Figure 2
Figure 2 PDR, %/min of ICG in patients with ACP, ALC or ASA. Reference lines for altered PDR: < 15%/min, and severely altered PDR: < 10%/min. ACP vs ALC, P < 0.001; ACP vs ASA, P = 0.048; ALC vs ASA, P < 0.001.
Figure 3
Figure 3 An inverse correlation (r = -0. 746, P < 0.001) between indocyanine clearance (PDR, %/min) and fecal E1 test (μg/g feces) in patients with ACP, ALC or ASA. Reference lines: PDR (%/min) = 15; E1 test = 100. Vertical line for PDR (%/min) = 10, and horizontal line for E1 test = 100 are marked in the figure.
