Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), imposing a significant health and economic burden globally. Early detection of hepatitis B virus-related HCC (HBV-HCC) in CHB with potential biomarkers has become a pressing and difficult challenge. Recent advancements in urinary proteomics offer a promising approach for HBV-HCC biomarker identification, utilizing Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry for urine proteome analysis. Differential analysis using limma in R software will uncover upregulated proteins in HBV-HCC.
