Aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index and blood platelet count are good markers for fibrosis evaluation in schistosomiasis mansoni.
The assessment of periportal fibrosis is of major importance in determining strategies, prognosis and risk for complications in schistosomiasis mansoni . For the last 2 decades, abdominal ultrasound has been used as the gold standard for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis mansoni , because hepatic biopsy has been shown to have low sensitivity in diagnosing advanced schistosomia...
متن کاملAspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index for fibrosis and cirrhosis prediction in chronic hepatitis C patients.
In chronic hepatitis C (CHC), liver biopsy is the gold standard method for assessing liver histology, however it is invasive and can have complications. Non-invasive markers have been proposed and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) has been shown as an easy and inexpensive marker of liver fibrosis. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of APRI for signific...
متن کاملThe efficacy of aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index for assessing hepatic fibrosis in childhood nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for medical practice
PURPOSE Childhood obesity is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and it has become one of the most common causes of childhood chronic liver diseases which significant as a cause of liver related mortality and morbidity in children in the United States. The development of simpler and easier clinical indices for medical practice is needed to identify advanced hepatic fibrosi...
متن کاملAspartate aminotransferase-platelet ratio index, adiponectin and body mass index in children with fatty liver
Obesity in children is becoming a global epidemic. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent and potentially serious complication of childhood obesity. Adiponectin level was decreased on obese children. Adiponectin is a protective factor against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease on obesity. The early identification of fibrosis is important in children with NAFLD in order to...
