| Core Tip |
Noninvasive methods to diagnose liver fibrosis have been proposed as an alternative to liver biopsy in patients with abnormal level of transaminases. In a Markov model, sequential testing with enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test followed by liver stiffness measurement (LSM) significantly reduce liver-related lifetime morbidity and mortality, compared with biopsy, in hepatitis C virus (HCV) and alcoholic liver disease patients. Noninvasive methods are also associated with an increase in quality-adjusted life years and costs. Overall, they are cost-effective strategies compared with biopsy. ELF test with or without a confirmation LSM may represent a more affordable strategy than the “treat-all” option in HCV patients. |
