Relationships between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) response and virological transient responder (vTR) among the 82 patients who received interferon therapy (number of patients)
| vTR (n=50) | vNR (n=32) | |
| ALT normalisation (n) | ||
| bTR (59) | 44 | 15 |
| BR (23) | 17 | 6 |
| bNR (23) | 6 | 17 |
p<0.0001, χ2 test (total bTRv bNR).
vNR, virological non-responders; bTR, biochemical transient responder; BR, biochemical responder; bNR, biochemical non-responder.
