Histopathologic Characteristics, Including Activity Grade, Fibrosis Stage, and Differences in Fibrosis Stage Between Hepatic Lobes
| Activity | N (%) | Fibrosis | N (%) | Fibrosis difference | N (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 0 | 3 (3) | Stage 0 | 14 (13.9) | Right=left | 75 (74.3) |
| Grade 1 | 13 (12.9) | Stage 1 | 10 (9.9) | Right>left | 12 (11.9) |
| Grade 2 | 24 (23.8) | Stage 2 | 32 (31.7) | Right<left | 14 (13.8) |
| Grade 3 | 36 (35.6) | Stage 3 | 25 (24.8) | ||
| Grade 4 | 25 (24.8) | Stage 4 | 20 (19.8) | ||
Grade and stage as assessed by an expert hepatopathologist. When differences in grade or stage were present between biopsies, the highest value was used for analysis. When present, the difference in fibrosis between lobes was by at least 1 stage.
