Table 4 Validity of ALT (ULN 30/19) and baseline serum HBV DNA levels for the differentiation of patients with HBeAg(-) chronic hepatitis B from inactive carriers
| Laboratory test | SP % | SS % | PPV % | NPV % | Diagnostic accuracy % | Inactive carriers n = 19 | HBeAg(-) hepatitis B n = 40 |
| ALT (> vs ≤ 30 M/19 F) | 100 | 92 | 100 | 86 | 95 | 0/19 | 37/3 |
| HBV DNA (> vs ≤ 100 000 copies/mL) | 73 | 72 | 85 | 56 | 72 | 5/14 | 29/11 |
| ALT+ HBV DNA | 100 | 92 | 100 | 86 | 95 | 0/19 | 37/3 |
