Table 4.

Hepatitis C by Ethnicity (n,%)

	White/Caucasian	Hispanic	AA	Other P-Value
Alcoholic Fatty Liver				0.065
HCV Ab positive/RNA positive	3 (4)	0	2 (22)	0
Alcoholic Hepatitis				0.044
HCV Ab positive/RNA positive	2 (2)^a	0	2 (18)^b	0
Alcoholic Cirrhosis				0.155
HCV Ab positive/RNA positive	51 (16)	15 (13)	8 (27)	6 (11)

P-value (Fisher's exact test) indicates that the proportion of Hepatitis C RNA positive patients differs significantly in the Alcoholic Hepatitis group. Different letters horizontally indicate significant p values (<0.05) within each clinical entity.

Alcoholic hepatitis: the proportion of HCV RNA positive subjects is significantly higher for AA subjects than White/Caucasian subjects (p = 0.044).
