Figure 1

The serum HBV-RNA level in the HBV-ACLF and CHB patients. (a) The mean serum HBV-RNA level (mean ± standard error (SEM)) was significantly lower in the HBV-ACLF patients than in the CHB patients (), in HBeAg-positive patients (b) and HBeAg-negative patients (c). In CHB and HBV-ACLF patients, the serum HBV-RNA levels in the HBeAg-positive patients were higher than that in the HBeAg-negative patients (d and e); and .
