“…89 Along this line, post-SVR decreases have been reported with non-invasive serum biomarkers like APRI, FIB-4 or ELF TM . 84,86,88,90 These studies, despite contrasting results, 90 also showed a good diagnostic accuracy of LSM by pSWE (AUROC from 0.88 and 0.91) 87,88 and of APRI, FIB-4 and ELF TM84,86 for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis after SVR, using liver biopsy as a reference. It should be kept in mind, however, that thresholds for LSM and NITs used in untreated viral hepatitis have proven inaccurate after SVR, 83,84,86,87 and it is necessary to validate the newer (lower) cut-offs in larger studies.…”
