Core Tip |
Onset of autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) is frequently insidious, and immune cell infiltration and continuous inflammation drive hepatic fibrosis, which gradually progresses to cirrhosis, causing poorer long-term outcomes. Liver biopsy as the reference standard is an invasive procedure. Thus, repeated biopsies are difficult to implement. Consequently, appropriate noninvasive methods are essential to dynamically monitor the degree of liver fibrosis. Our meta-analysis compared the diagnostic accuracy of imaging techniques with serum biomarkers of fibrosis in autoimmune liver diseases. |
