Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis efficiency of hyaluronic acid(HA) and Ⅳ-collagen(Ⅳ-C)in patients with liver fibrosis after hepatitis B. Aspartate aminotransferase(AST)/platelet(PLT) ratio(APRI) and fibrosis 4 score(Fib-4)for liver fibrosis after hepatitis B. Methods A total of 320 patients with hepatitis B were enrolled. Their general data,like age and sex,were recorded. The patients were classified according to the Metavir scoring system. The HA and Ⅳ-C levels were detected by chemiluminescence,and APRI and Fib-4 were calculated. Their roles have been evaluated according to receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis. Results HA,Ⅳ-C,APRI and Fib-4 were positively correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis with statistical significance(P<0.05),and the areas under curves(AUC) of HA,Ⅳ-C,APRI and Fib-4 were 0.646,0.695,0.743 and 0.701,respectively. Conclusions HA,Ⅳ-C,APRI and Fib-4 have correlations with hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis. They are potential in the non-invasive diagnosis of hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis.
