Application of apri index for noninvasive evalution of liver fibrosis activity in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Abstract

seventy-nine patients, age from forty to forty-five years old, with chronic hepatitis C were examined in the clinic. All the patients studied determined the stage o f fibrosis and the severity o f the disease with the help o f the GenoFibroTest system, an expert system o f biochemical blood indices. Modern statistical methods were used to determine the dependence between the stages o f fibrosis and APRI. It was found that the APRI value from 0 to 1 corresponds to F0 - F1, more than 1 to F2-F4, respectively.
