Liver stiffness in hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic hepatitis patients: Hepatitis B virus infection and transaminases should be considered

Figure 1 Flow chart of recruitment of patients. LS: Liver stiffness; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; CHB: Chronic hepatitis B; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; HBV: Hepatitis B virus; Pos group: HBV-DNA positive group; Neg group: HBV-DNA negative group.

Figure 2 Correlation between Emean and liver condition. A: Box plot of the correlation between Emean and Child-Pugh score; B: Line graph of the correlation between Emean and albumin-bilirubin score. HBV: Hepatitis B virus; Pos group: HBV-DNA positive group; Neg group: HBV-DNA negative group; CP: Child-Pugh; ALBI: Albumin-bilirubin.

Figure 3 Correlation between Emean and liver condition in patients with different levels of alanine aminotransferase. A: Box plot of the correlation between Emean and Child-Pugh score in patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT); B: Line graph of the correlation between Emean and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score in patients with normal ALT; C: Box plot of the correlation between Emean and Child-Pugh score in patients with increased ALT; D: Line graph of the correlation between Emean and ALBI score in patients with increased ALT. HBV: Hepatitis B virus; Pos group: HBV-DNA positive group; Neg group: HBV-DNA negative group; CP: Child-Pugh; ALBI: Albumin-bilirubin.
