• What: The aim of this study is to compare the portal vein CI of patients with asymptomatic hepatitis B viral infection and normal individuals" Methods and Patients: This is an institution-based case-control study comprising 112 cases with serological diagnosis of hepatitis B viral infection and 112 age and sex-matched controls that were seronegative for hepatitis B and C viral infection and had normal LFT parameters. The difference found in the index study was however not statistically significant as the study was exclusively carried out among asymptomatic patients (P=0.192).
