Representative Western blots of prothrombin (72 kD) and albumin (64 kD) in CSF and serum of HD patients and their corresponding controls (C).

<p>The resulting data are illustrated in scatter plots with median and interquartile range. The prothrombin/Alb ratio in CSF of HD patients (n = 9) is higher than that in controls (n = 9). *<i>p</i><0.05, Mann-Whitney U test.
