Abstract :
We enjoyed reading the excellent article by Yilmaz and
colleagues on noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis using
aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI)
in adult patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) (1). They
performed their tests on adults with chronic hepatitis C
(CHC), B (CHB), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
