All patients (100%) had jaundice, 10 patients (83.33%) had splenomegaly, 9 patients (75%) had ascites, and 4 patients had grade 3 ascites. There were 3 cases of grade 2 ascites and 1 case of hepatic encephalopathy (8.33%). 75% of the patients were accompanied by moderate to severe anemia, and the platelet counts of 12 patients were all below 100×109/L. The prothrombin times of all patients were prolonged by more than 3s, with INR higher than the upper limit of normal reference value. The bilirubin levels were elevated, especially DBil. The patient's ALT, AST, DBil, GGT ALP were (38.92±39.86) U/L, (78.08±73.58) U/L, (101.61±78.73) μmol/L, (37.42±34.28 ) U/L and (110.83±40.42) U/L, respectively.
