Relationship with FIB-4, APRI scores and the clinical diagnosis in chronic liver diseases
Abstract
AİM: Liver biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cirrhosis, but has limitations such as invasive procedure, high cost, risk of rare but potentially life-threatening complications. These limitations of liver biopsy promote the development of noninvasive methods for assessments of cirrhosis. Among this models, aspartate transaminase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis index based on four factors (FIB-4) are commonly used for identifying liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of APRI and FIB-4 to predict cirrhosis in chronic liver diseases of various etiologies.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: To propose a new set of cut-offs with high specificity and sensitivity for use in clinical practice, we evaluated new cut-offs of APRI and FIB-4 patients with chronic liver diseases.
FINDINGS: Based on ROC analysis, the optimal cut-offs were 1.32 for APRI, and 4.24 for FIB-4, for diagnosing cirrhosis in this study.
CONCLUSİON:The more frequent use of these non-invasive methods in clinical practice will lead to the early identification of cirrhosis, and prevent unnecessary biopsy with significant complications.
