Figure 2 Prevalence of different stages of fibrosis in Asian and Caucasian patients. The stage of the hepatic fibrosis seen on liver biopsy examination in Asian and Caucasian patients was quantified as mild (fibrosis score of <2), moderate (fibrosis score of 3–4), or severe (fibrosis score of 5–6), and the percentage of patients with each stage is plotted.
