a Bile acid levels and significant abundance differences in the post-TIPS peripheral blood based on HE grade. HE grade: 0=none; 1=mild; 2 + =severe (Kruskal-Wallis test, FDR < 0.2). Longitudinal levels of bile acids in two participants readmitted with HE grade 2+ represented by red (b, participant 11_a) and orange (c, participant 12_a) compared to participants with HE grade 0 (black line, n = 4; shaded areas represent SEM).
