Comparison of plasma angiogenesis-related biomarkers in ALD patients and the control group∗.

	Biomarkers of angiogenesis						𝑃
	ALD patients (𝑛=147)			Controls (𝑛=30)
	Median	95% CI	25–75 P	Median	95% CI	25–75 P
Ang1; ng/mL	2.90	2.09–3.26	0.99–5.28	3.02	1.46–4.97	1.06–6.12	0.83
Ang2; ng/mL	4.58	3.99–6.09	3.12–9.97	1.95	1.33–2.30	1.10–2.43	<0.0001
