Prospective Comparison of Noninvasive Fibrosis Assessment to Predict Advanced Fibrosis or Cirrhosis in Asian Patients With Hepatitis C

Abstract

Fib-4 and Lok index were useful noninvasive fibrosis indices for predicting advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in Asian patients with hepatitis C. In addition, ARFI elastography exhibited acceptable diagnostic performance in the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with hepatitis C.
