Abstract Background In patients with cirrhosis infection is frequent and a leading cause of death. This is secondary to various immunologic abnormalities in both the innate and the adaptive immune system. However it remains unclear whether cirrhosis affects the inflammatory systemic component of the innate immunity the acute phase response mostly effectuated by the liver itself. We hypothesized that rats with cirrhosis raise a reduced acute phase response induced by lipopolysaccharide LPS . Results We examined the acute phase response induced by intraperitoneal injection of a low dose of LPS in sham operated control animals and in rats with liver cirrhosis induced by bile duct ligation BDL . We measured the serum concentrations of the most important acute phase proteins and their liver tissue gene expressions assessed by .
