Absolute quantification of microparticles by flow cytometry in ascites of patients with decompensated cirrhosis: a cohort study

Abstract Background Microparticles (MPs) are small (<1 μm) cell membrane-derived vesicles that are formed in response to cellular activation or early stages of apoptosis.
