Core Tip	Although liver biopsy is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, liver biopsy is an invasive procedure, with attendant morbidity. Less-invasive procedures are needed in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. Multivariate analysis showed that the mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio was independently predictive of liver cirrhosis. This ratio, which can be determined from a routine complete blood count, may be a simple surrogate marker predicting liver cirrhosis.
