Abstract
Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) is a valuable treatment for psoriasis. Guidelines recommend monitoring liver function tests (LFTs) every 1-3 months, although liver biopsy remains gold standard. Two novel tests, the Fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) score and Fibroscan, have been introduced to assess liver fibrosis noninvasively. This study highlights use of these tools in identifying patients treated with MTX for psoriasis at risk for hepatic fibrosis.
