FC-profiling represents an innovative approach to investigating the localised intestinal cytokine microenvironment in cirrhosis. These data reveal that AD is associated with a highly inflamed and permeable gut-barrier. FC profiles are very different from the classical innate-like features of systemic inflammation. There is non-specific upregulation of T1/T17 effector cytokines and those known to mediate intestinal barrier damage. This prevents mucosal healing in AD and further propagates BT and systemic inflammation.
