Figure 4From: Changes of Treg and Th17 cells balance in the development of acute and chronic hepatitis B virus infection The ratio of Treg cells to Th17 cells negatively correlated with total bilirubin levels in chronic HBV-infected patients, especially in patients with ACHBLF (B) and positively correlated with viral load in these chronic HBV-infected subjects (A). No significant correlation between Treg/Th17 ratio and serum ALT levels in these chronic HBV infected subjects were found (C). Furthermore, there were no significant correlation between Treg/Th17 ratio and liver injury or viral load in AHB (D, E, F).Back to article page
