AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) for the noninvasive evaluation of liver fibrosis

---

Liver biopsy is the recognized gold standard for liver fibrosis staging. The aspartate minotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) has been proposed as a noninvasive and readily available tool for the assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC).
This study aimed to validate, in a Mexican tertiary health care setting, the diagnostic usefulness of APRI in CHC, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).
