Journal Title: Гастроентерологія - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 50
Abstract
In the paper we consider the diagnostic possibilities of the use of serum markers of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HCV-infection. The definition of special tests (AAR, APRI, Forns’ score, FibroIndex, FIB-4, MDA, GUCI, SHASTA, k LN, k MMP-1, k LN/MMР-1) using direct and indirect markers of liver fibrosis is an alternative, non-invasive, affordable method for diagnosing liver fibrosis.
