Chronic hepatitis B with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Association between glycemic control and liver fibrosis

Figure 2 Pair-wise comparisons among groups with differing fibrosis status (total n = 420, no fibrosis group n = 27, liver fibrosis group n = 121, and cirrhosis group n = 272). A: Alanine aminotransferase; B: Aspartate aminotransferase; C: Alkaline phosphatase; D: Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for intergroup comparisons of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; S/L: Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.001.
