High Incidence of Allograft Cirrhosis in Hepatitis C Virus
Genotype 1b Infection Following Transplantation: Relationship With
Rejection Episodes
Fig. 2. Serum ALT levels at the end of follow-up in
relation to the activity of hepatitis. Activity was determined by
combining the HAI (Knodell) scores for periportal necrosis (0-6),
lobular degeneration and necrosis (0-4), and portal inflammation
(0-4), and defined as follows: 1-2, minimal; 3-6, mild; 7-10,
moderate; 11-14, severe. Bars indicate the mean values. The normal
range of values for ALT 0 to 40 U/L (dotted line). Serum ALT levels
were lower in patients with minimal hepatitis than in those with
mild, moderate, or severe hepatitis (P = .001), but did not
differ between the latter groups.
