High level of serum cholesteryl ester transfer protein in active hepatitis C virus infection

Table 2 Influence of the hepatitis C virus infection status on the serum cholesterol ester transfer protein level as analyzed by multiple regression analysis

	B	SE	P value
Constant	0.770	0.541	0.157
HCV infection	0.415	0.158	0.010
Age	0.014	0.006	0.042
Female sex	0.391	0.182	0.034
HDL	0.008	0.004	0.099

HCV infection status was an independent factor that significantly influenced the serum cholesterol ester transfer protein level. HCV: Hepatitis C virus; HDL: High-density lipoprotein.
