Core Tip Although there has been an explosive development and validation of non-invasive fibrosis tests particularly in viral hepatitis, data on patients with alcoholic liver disease are still scarce. We review these tests and critically appraise the existing literature. Evidence suggests that such tests could be tailored to first tier screening of patients at risk, in order to diagnose early patients with progressive liver disease and offer targeted interventions for the prevention of decompensation.
