Diagnostic Accuracy of Serum‐Based Fibrosis Scores for Clinically Significant Liver Fibrosis in an East Asian Cohort

ABSTRACT Serum‐based fibrosis scores are widely used for noninvasive risk stratification in chronic liver disease; however, direct comparisons across liver disease etiologies remain limited, particularly in Asian populations with a high prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This s...

Clinical utility of a 30% reduction in VCTE-derived liver stiffness measurement for identifying histologic improvement in MASH.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) recommends that a decline in liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) can be used as a non-invasive endpoint for treatment response in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MAS...

Diagnostic performance of FIB-6 for identifying FibroScan-defined advanced fibrosis in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Accurate non-invasive identification of advanced fibrosis is essential for risk stratification and management. The Fibrosis-6 (FIB-6) score is a recently developed serum-based index, but its performance...

FibroScan as a recommended modality for diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at the district level: a SWOT analysis

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), increasingly known as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), is the most common chronic liver condition both globally and in India. FibroScan (vibration-controlled transient elastography; VCTE) provides a non-invasive, rapid, and reproducible alterna...
