Aspartate 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 کاملRDW to Platelet Ratio: A Novel Noninvasive Index for Predicting Hepatic Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Chronic Hepatitis B
OBJECTIVE To develop a simple predictive model for significant fibrosis and cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) using the routine hematological parameters of a complete blood count. METHODS A total of 458 eligible CHB patients who had undergone a liver biopsy were randomly divided into two cohorts: an estimation group (n = 310) and a validation group (n = 148). Liver histology was assessed...
متن کاملAST to platelet ratio index (APRI) for the noninvasive evaluation of liver fibrosis.
Liver biopsy is the recognized gold standard for liver fibrosis staging. The aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) has been proposed as a noninvasive and readily available tool for the assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). This study aimed to validate, in a Mexican tertiary health care setting, the diagnostic usefulness of APRI in CHC, nonalcoholic fatty...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis with aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI)
Adler M. Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis with aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI). In chronic liver diseases, the management of patients must include a determination of the stage of fibrosis (to select specific therapies), a prognosis, the prevention of complications, and the surveillance of the disease. Over the past several years, significant progress has been made ...

Sirli R, Sporea I. Aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index for the assessment of liver fibrosis severity in patients with chronic hepatitis. I read with interest the article by Yilmaz et al. regarding the value of aspartate aminotransferases (AST)–to– platelet ratio index (APRI score) for the noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis, which was published in Hepati...
