Core Tip |
Cirrhosis is usually asymptomatic thus often diagnosed late when complications occur. Most non-invasive hepatic fibrosis scores (fibrosis-4, aspartate transaminase-to-platelet ratio index) incorporate platelets as a strong risk factor. However, the association between platelets average trends within the normal range and the risk of cirrhosis development is unknown. We found that up to 15 years before the diagnosis of cirrhosis, a progressive decline in platelet counts occurs, within the normal limits along with a gradual incline in FIB-4. The decline in platelet counts may alert of an early liver disease and may enable early therapeutic and preventive interventions before complications occur. |
