Histopathological examination of the liver is the most direct method for evaluating the pathological changes of the liver in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Generally, the patients with chronic HBV infection who show normal or slightly elevated serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels (<2×ULN) are considered to have mild hepatic fibrosis or inflammation. However, in recent years, many scholars have found that some patients with serum ALT levels below 2×ULN have severe pathological changes. The relationship between clinical features and pathological changes of the liver in patients with chronic HBV infection is reviewed, and the pathological and clinical features of chronic HBV infection patients with serum ALT levels...
