Correlation analysis between serum PAF-AH and TBIL (A, B) and TBA (C, D) in patients with hepatitis B (A, C) and in healthy controls (B, D). Serum PAF-AH, TBIL, and TBA were measured by spectrophotometric assays in 152 healthy patients and 216 patients diagnosed with hepatitis B. The Spearman correlation coefficients between these variables were determined as shown on the plots. No significant correlation was detected between PAF-AH activity and TBA in healthy controls, but TBIL levels correlated positively with PAF-AH activities in both healthy controls and hepatitis B–positive patients. TBA also correlated positively with PAF-AH in hepatitis B–positive patients.
