Core Tip Transient elastography (FibroScan) is a recommended non-invasive test for evaluation of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this study, we demonstrated the good performance of FibroScan in predicting liver fibrosis staging. However, we found that the discordance between Fibroscan fibrosis staging and pathological score. Liver inflammation was an independent risk factor affecting the accuracy of FibroScan assessing HBV related liver fibrosis staging. The combination of other related non-invasive factors can predict the risk of FibroScan staging misdiagnosis, and may be helpful for guiding the diagnosis and therapy of chronic HBV infection.
