Abstract:Introduction/Objective
Noninvasive Markers (NIM) of Liver Fibrosis help evaluate the stage of fibrosis in patients with no clear indication for a liver biopsy, such as patients with chronic hepatitis C who need monitoring of the stage of fibrosis during or after treatment. The perfect NIM for hepatic fibrosis should be inexpensive, safe, simple, reliable, and well-validated in different forms of chronic liver disease.
