Core Tip	An accurate diagnosis of liver fibrosis is essential to make therapeutic decisions in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, liver biopsy, the “gold standard” for assessing the degree of liver fibrosis, has been limited by its complications. Although noninvasive models composed with serum biomarkers were applied to assess fibrosis in patients with CHB, they have been suggested owing to their high applicability, inter-laboratory reproducibility, wide availability for repeated assays and cost. Previous data presented on the noninvasive models for assessing liver fibrosis from different levels of alanine aminotransferase have been limited.
