Core Tip By combining three serum biomarkers, hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B virus-DNA, and hepatitis B surface antigen, this study proposes a cost-effective, non-invasive diagnostic approach for assessing chronic hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis (LF) staging, providing advantages in operational convenience and repeatability. The multi-parameter model demonstrated superior diagnostic performance without compromising either sensitivity or specificity. Further, a strong correlation of hepatitis B core antibody and hepatitis B virus-DNA with LF progression was determined. Altogether, a promising non-invasive serological tool for LF staging is proposed in this study, providing a cost-effective solution to improve clinical diagnostics and patient care.
