Evaluation of Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) as a noninvasive biomarker of hepatic fibrosis in patients with Hepatitis B virus–related compensated chronic liver disease

Abstract: Background: Liver biopsy is the gold-standard method for diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis, but the procedure is invasive, not available in the primary health care facilities, and not free from complications. Noninvasive serum biomarkers of hepatic fibrosis are the current research focus. Objectives: To assess the correlation between serum Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) levels and histological severity in patients with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-related c… Show more

“…Viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections, improper diet, alcohol consumption, stones, and other diseases can cause lesions in the liver, leading to different types of liver diseases. Many scholars have already discovered changes in the content of CHI3L1 in liver injury, liver cancer, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and other diseases [83][84][85][86][87][88][89].…”

“…Drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Steatohepatitis, immunological liver disorders, chronic liver infections, alcohol dependence, and schistosomiasis are all etiological factors associated with the progression of liver fibrosis. The prevalence of liver fibrosis is primarily attributed to chronic infection with hepatitis viruses, which stands as the most prevalent identified risk factor [2]. The accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins is a consequence of chronic liver injury, leading to the degradation of the hepatic structure.…”
