| Core Tip |
Liver fibrosis assessment still poses a challenge when prioritizing hepatitis C treatment due to logistical and financial barriers in the use of direct acting antiviral drugs. We introduced a new stepwise combination of first generation fibrosis tests - aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and Forns-followed by FibroMeterVirus3G whenever results remained unclassified after first generation tests to identify significant fib-rosis. This combination presented similar accuracy to FibroMeterVirus3G used as the only test, reduced APRI and Forns grey zone, and spared FibroMeterVirus3G require-ment in 50% of cases. This approach represents a lower-cost alternative to assess fibrosis, with no need for liver biopsy. |
