Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, n (%), or median (interquartile range). ALB, albumin; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; INR, international normalized ratio; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; PT, prothrombin time; TC, total cholesterol; and TG, triacylglycerol.
