Correlation of hepatitis B surface antigen expression with clinicopathological and biochemical parameters in liver biopsies: A comprehensive study

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier analysis in hepatitis B surface antigen positive and hepatitis B e antigen negative cases (P < 0. 01). A: Cumulative incidence of viral response in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive patients is more frequently observed in cases with higher percentage of immunohistochemical hepatitis B surface antigen (p-HBsAg) expression; B-D: In the same group, serological response is also significantly related to p-HBsAg expression (B) and HBsAg levels (C). However, in HBeAg negative in patients, VR is closely related to hepatitis activity index (D). p-HBsAg: Percentage of immunohistochemical hepatitis B surface antigen; HBsAg: Hepatitis B surface antigen; HAI: Hepatitis activity index; VR: Viral response; SR: Serological response.
