Core Tip This article reviews a study comparing non-invasive liver fibrosis tests in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). FibroTest, transient elastography, and Actitest showed better accuracy than the fibrosis-4 index, with Actitest excelling in detecting inflammation. Although liver biopsy remains common in AIH due to diagnostic complexity and inflammation’s impact on non-invasive tests, a Bayesian model supports their reliability. The findings emphasize the value of non-invasive methods in improving long-term AIH monitoring and complementing liver biopsy.
