Fibrosis assessment using FibroMeter combined to first generation tests in hepatitis C
AIM To evaluate the performance of FibroMeterVirus3G combined to the first generation tests aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) or Forns index to assess significant fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS First generation tests APRI or Forns were initially applied in a derivation population from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil considering cut-offs previously reported in ...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis through FibroMeter in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C
Results We analyzed data from 87 patients, 68 (78.2%) of which had chronic HBV infection and 19 (21.8%), chronic HCV infection. The median age was 44.9 ± 15.0 (range 17-75). The mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.0 ± 3.6 in the HBV group and 26.7 ± 3.2 in the HCV group. Overall, 36 patients (41.4%) had normal BMI, another 36 (41.4%) had a BMI equivalent for overweight status, and 15 (17.2%) had ...
متن کاملBlood tests to diagnose fibrosis or cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Data Synthesis: 172 studies evaluated diagnostic accuracy. For identifying clinically significant fibrosis, the platelet count, age– platelet index, aspartate aminotransferase–platelet ratio index (APRI), FibroIndex, FibroTest, and Forns index had median positive likelihood ratios of 5 to 10 at commonly used cutoffs and areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROCs) of 0.70 or...
متن کاملHepatitis C and fibrosis.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a health problem involving more than 100 million people worldwide.

Liver fibrosis is the main complication of chronic HCV infection, and its eventual outcome –liver cirrhosis– is responsible for liver-related morbidity and mortality ...
متن کاملIs it time to rethink combined liver-kidney transplant in hepatitis C patients with advanced fibrosis?
AIM To reduce hepatic and extrahepatic complications of chronic hepatitis C in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of kidney only transplant in patients with hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis. RESULTS The 5 year patient survival of kidney transplant recipients with and without hepatitis C cirrhosis ranged from 31% to 90% and 85% to 92%, respectively. Hepat...
