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 کاملAspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index for the assessment of liver fibrosis severity in patients with chronic hepatitis
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...
متن کاملComparison of FIB-4 index and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index on carcinogenesis in chronic hepatitis B treated with entecavir
AIMS We sought to compare the effects of FIB-4 index and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients undergoing entecavir (ETV) therapy. PATIENT AND METHODS A total of 338 nucleosides analogue therapy naïve CHB patients initially treated with ETV were analyzed. The optimal cutoff points in each con...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of FIB-4, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index and liver stiffness measurement in hepatitis B virus-infected patients with persistently normal alanine aminotransferase
AIM To assess the diagnostic value of FIB-4, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients with hepatitis B virus infection who have persistently normal alanine transaminase (PNALT). METHODS We enrolled 245 patients with chronic hepatitis B: 95 in PNALT group, 86 in intermittently elevated alanine transaminase (PIALT1) group [alan...
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...
