Characteristics of HBV Novel Serum Markers across Distinct Phases in Treatment-Naïve Chronic HBV-Infected Patients

Figure 2

The correlation analysis of HBV markers across the distinct phases. The correlations of each serum HBV markers in the overall patients (a), HBeAg-positive patients (b), HBeAg-negative patients (c), IT-phased patients (d), IC-phased patients (e), LR-phased patients (f), and reactivation-phased patients (g). The value in the cell was Spearman’s correlation coefficient (). The bar of white-green-red indicates a growing correlation. Abbreviations: cccDNA: covalently closed circular DNA; HBV: hepatitis B virus; HBeAg: hepatitis B e antigen; HBsAg: hepatitis B surface antigen; HBcrAg: hepatitis B core-related antigen; anti-HBc: hepatitis B core antibody; tDNA: total DNA.
