The serum HBV-RNA levels in the HBV-ACLF patients at baseline and on the fourth week. (a) The mean serum HBV-RNA levels (mean ± (SEM)) in 25 patients were significantly lower after four weeks of treatment relative to the baseline levels; the mean serum HBV-RNA levels in the survival group showed a similar pattern (b), but no significant difference was found in the death group (c); .
