Comparison of serum amyloid A levels between active and inactive chronic hepatitis B patients with oral antiviral therapy
Status of patients with antiviral therapy | n | mean ± SD of SAA (mg/L) | Average rank of SAA | Z1 value | P1 value |
Active CHB | 18 | 6.289 ± 6.042 | 74.92 | -4.077 | 0.000 |
Inactive CHB | 82 | 3.379 ± 4.726 | 44.46 |
The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the serum amyloid A levels between various liver disease groups. SAA: Serum amyloid A; CHB: Chronic hepatitis B.
