Core Tip	Several non-invasive techniques for the assessment of liver disease severity, including transient elastography and serological markers, have been developed to overcome the limitations and invasivity of liver biopsy. The application of these techniques in the setting of hepatitis B viral disease for both the assessment of liver fibrosis and the prediction of liver-related complications can lead to improved patient management.
