Quantitative Anti-HBc in Liver Pathological States in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Figure 1

Multiple variables graph of anti-HBc and serum HBsAg and HBV DNA clustered by liver pathological grades (a) and stages (b) of HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients. The vertical axis represents anti-HBc and serum HBsAg and HBV DNA levels, the units of measurement of which are all log₁₀ IU/mL; the small circles represent the medians, and the horizontal lines above and below the small circles represent the quartiles. Horizontal axis represents pathological grades and stages, where epG1, epG3, epG3 and epS1, epS2, epS3, epS4 represent G1, G3, G3 and S1, S2, S3, S4 of HBeAg-positive patients, respectively, and enG1, enG3, enG3 and enS1, enS2, enS3, enS4 represent G1, G3, G3 and S1, S2, S3, S4 of HBeAg-negative patients, respectively.
