Observational analysis shows a significant relationship between hepatitis b viral load and liver enzymes in hbsag-positive patients, suggesting potential markers for disease progression.
Key Points
A significant association exists between hepatitis b viral load and patient age, with males showing higher levels than females.
Data reveals 29.2% of male patients exhibited elevated viral load compared to 11% of females, highlighting gender differences in infection severity.
The method involved analyzing blood samples from 159 hbsag-positive patients, assessing the relationship between viral load and various laboratory parameters.
This study highlights the importance of monitoring liver enzymes and serum calcium levels as potential markers for tracking disease progression in hbv infections.
