Sustained virological response (SVR) rates stratified according to pretreatment HCV RNA and ALT levels in group A and B patients. The SVR rates in patients with high (≥41 IU/l) and low (<41 IU/l) ALT levels are shown in panels a and b, respectively. a The SVR rates in patients with high ALT levels (≥41 IU/l) were generally high except for group A patients with high viral load (≥1,000,000 IU/ml). b The SVR rates in both groups A and B were low in patients with low ALT levels (<41 IU/l) except those with low viral load (<100,000 IU/ml)
