Table 4. Serum tests between patients with AHB with ALF and without ALF.

Group	N	Inconsistence of TB with peak ALT levels (N, %)	PTA(Of normal%)	HBVDNA(log10 IU/mL)	Anti-HBcIgM S/CO≥10(N,%)	HBeAg negative(N,%)
Non-ALF	280	41/280(14.64)	78.1(35.2~144.6)	3.97(2.2~7.41)	154/280(55.0)	109/273(39.9)
ALF	13	8/13(61.53)	44.4(0~80.7)	2.98(2.72~4.10)	11/13 (84.6)	11/13(84.6)
P		<0.001	<0.001	0.011	0.035	0.001

NOTE. Peak PTA and HBVDNA are expressed as medians (and ranges); the others are stated as number and percent. ALF: acute liver failure; PTA: prothrombin time activity; TB: total serum bilirubin;ALT: alanine aminotransferase; anti-HBc IgM: serum IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen; HBeAg: hepatitis B e-antigen. N: number; S/CO: sample/cutoff.
