| Core Tip |
In few parts of the world, in addition to hepatitis C virus (HCV) other concomitant infections play a significant role in causing liver fibrosis. This study was conducted using data from 383 patients to evaluate accuracy of noninvasive method called aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI). Its usefulness was explored for assessment of liver fibrosis. Also the role of anti-schistosomial antibody was evaluated for improving sensitivity and specificity of APRI. The APRI when used alone showed good sensitivity and specificity for accurately evaluating liver fibrosis in patients with HCV and schistosomiasis coinfection. The addition of antischistosomal antibody or HCV-RNA Titer, did not further improve the accuracy of APRI. |
