This study determined the utility of a panel of serum fibrosis markers along with routine laboratory tests in estimating the likelihood of histological cirrhosis in a cohort of prior nonresponders with chronic hepatitis C. The relationship between serum markers and quantitative hepatic collagen cont
Wai et al. 1 developed indexes that identified significant fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. These indexes, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and platelets, had good discriminative power, as shown by areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.82 for fo
