Table 3 Comparison of the AFP levels among the studied groups

From: Interleukin-18 polymorphism as a diagnostic tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis

 

Mean ± SD

Test of sig.

 

Control group (N = 20)

2.87 ± 1.25

KW = 36.485

P < 0.001*

 

Cirrhosis group (N = 37)

10.12 ± 15.16

P = 0.345

HCC group (N = 33)

345.67 ± 504.25

p1 < 0.001*

p2 < 0.001*

  1. This table shows that AFP is highly significant in the HCC group than the cirrhosis and control groups (P < 0.001)
  2. KW Kruskal-Wallis test, P intergroup probability, p1 probability in relation to the control group, p2 probability in relation to the cirrhosis group
