Table 2.
HBV RNA concentrations in serum and plasma samples at baseline.
| Plasma samples | Serum samples | |
|---|---|---|
| (N = 26) | (N = 26) | |
| Tnd* | 8 (30.77) | 10 (38.46) |
| not quantifiable HBV RNA level (≤ titer min) | 6 (23.08) | 4 (15.39) |
| Quantifiable HBV RNA level | 12 (46.15) | 12 (46.15) |
| > 10 -100 copies/mL | 4 (33.33.39) | 4 (33.33) |
| > 100 copies/mL | 8 (66.67) | 8 (66.67) |
| HBV RNA copies/mL (median) | 21.90 (10–1.75 × 103) | 122.70 (10–2.01 × 103) |
| HBV RNA copies/mL (mean) | 4.63 × 106 (1.75 × 107) | 5.35 × 106 (1.90 × 107) |
Continuous values are expressed as median with (IQR) or mean with (standard deviation), respectively. Categorical values are depicted as number and frequency.
*tnd = target not detected; < titer min = titer below the LLoQ.
