| Core Tip |
Non-invasive tests are increasingly replacing liver biopsy for fibrosis assessment in chronic liver diseases due to their safety and accessibility. This systematic review highlights that elastography-based modalities provide high diagnostic accuracy for detecting significant fibrosis, while serum biomarkers serve as effective first-line screening tools. Despite variability in cut-off values and study designs, a stepwise approach combining serum and imaging-based non-invasive tests improves diagnostic reliability. Integrating these modalities into clinical practice can reduce the need for invasive procedures while maintaining accurate fibrosis staging and guiding patient management. |
