Variations in hepatic functional reserve in seven patients with hepatitis B. Bonferroni's multiple comparison post-hoc test was used to analyze differences in values between time points. The number of results obtained varied as follows: 18, 8, 6, 4, 4, 5 and 6: 6 results were obtained on days 0, 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10 and 11–20, respectively. Days on which <3 test results were obtained were merged with adjacent days. The following markers of hepatic functional reserve were used: (A) alanine transaminase, (B) aspartate transaminase, (C) direct bilirubin and (D) total bilirubin. ***P<0.001, **P<0.01 and *P<0.05 vs. Day 0, 1, 3 or 5. IRE, irreversible electroporation; ALT, aspartate transaminase; D.BIL, direct bilirubin; T.BIL, total bilirubin.
