Neutrophil granulocytes are important components of very early immune responses against infections. We have observed neutrophil migration patterns in hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis, that strongly differ from healthy controls and are associated with a high risk of developing adverse outcomes like sepsis or death. These migration patterns can be monitored with a novel, standardized migration assay.
