Evaluation of non-invasive markers of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients in a sub- saharan African setting: Transient elastography Versus APRI, FIB4, GTT/ Platelet scores

2022-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold>: Non-invasive markers which use routine laboratory tests are less expensive and highly needed to assess and stage liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients in Sub Saharan Africa. We aimed at evaluating liver fibrosis, using Aspartate aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis Index Based on 4 factors (FIB4), and Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase t...
