Alanine aminotransferase normalization at week 8 predicts viral response during hepatitis C treatment

Figure 1 Schematic diagram showing patient group flow according to initial alanine aminotransferase level and subsequent pattern of change in patients with and without rapid virological response. A: Change in patients with rapid virological response (RVR); B: Change in patients without RVR. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; SVR: Sustained virological response.

Figure 2 Sustained virological response rates in patients with follow-up abnormal and normalized alanine aminotransferase with and without rapid virological response. A: With rapid virological response (RVR); B: Without RVR. SVR: Sustained virological response; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase.
