Diagnosis for liver fibrosis - noninvasively
Abstract:
Noninvasive tests are utilized in chronic liver diseases to assess excessive connective tissue. Blood tests such as the N-terminal peptide of procollagen (PIIINP) and APRI (ASAT/platelet count) measure the formation and degradation of connective tissue or liver function. Elastography (Fibroscan) is based on the propagation of ultrasound in liver tissue, accelerated by fibrosis: the results are more sensitive and accurate than those based on blood tests. Reliable detection of severe fibrosis and cirrhosis is possible with Fibroscan along with determining normal liver tissue.
