Complement Factor 3 Could Be an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality in Patients with HBV Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure

Figure 4

Lower complement levels indicated impaired liver regeneration in HBV-ACLF patients. (a) C3, C4, and CH50 levels in serum were positively associated with serum ALB levels in HBV-infected patients (chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF)). (b) A positive correlation was found between serum C3 levels and AFP levels in HBV-ACLF patients. Solid line, linear growth trend; , correlation coefficient. values were shown.
