Abstract

Background. Diagnosis and staging of chronic liver disease is mainly based on liver biopsy (LB). Many attempts were made in order to replace LB with non-invasive markers of disease activity. Our study focuses on the role of ultrasound examination (US) associated to AST/platelets ratio index (APRI test) on the differential diagnosis between chronic active hepatitis (CAH) and liver cirrhosis (LC).
