APRI and FIB-4 in the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C patients stratified by AST level

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) are commonly used compound surrogates for advanced fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients. However, the use of APRI and FIB-4 entails a risk of overestimating the fibrosis sta...
