Core Tip	There is increased interest in non-invasive markers of fibrosis, especially in chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Although several methodologies have been proposed over the last few years, the limited availability and concerns regarding the true accuracy of these techniques has restricted their clinical application. In this review we will discuss the different noninvasive methods that are currently available for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C, their advantages, limitations and application in clinical practice.
