Lowering the threshold of alanine aminotransferase for enhanced identification of significant hepatic injury in chronic hepatitis B patients

Figure 4 Lowering the alanine aminotransferase treatment threshold to new criteria (30 U/L for men and 19 U/L for women). A: Among the 794 chronic hepatitis B virus infections, 50.5% (401/794) of patients were above the new criteria; B: Comparison of the proportions of patients exceeding the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) threshold in different groups; C: A total of 41.7% (164/393) of patients below the ALT threshold had significant liver inflammation (≥ G2); D: The proportion of significant hepatic injury (SHI) in patients below the ALT threshold was 50.4%. Comparison of the proportions of SHI in each group. NS: Not significant. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001.
