Favorable Outcomes of Chinese HCV-Related Cirrhotic Patients with Sustained Virological Response after Pegylated Interferon Plus Ribavirin Treatment

Figure 1

Changes in ALT values, absolute platelet counts, albumin values, and APRI levels in each group based on different treatment outcomes. The ALT levels (a) and APRI values (d) significantly reduced in the SVR patients compared with the non-SVR patients. Platelet counts (b) and albumin levels (c) increased in the patients with SVR and decreased in the non-SVR patients. values represent comparisons between values at the initiation of treatment and at the last visit using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Student’s -test. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; PLT: platelet counts; ALB: albumin; APRI: aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index; SVR: sustained virological response. ; ; .
