Objective: Liver fibrosis is traditionally graded into categorical stages with cirrhosis as the
highest stage. However, cirrhosis stage may vary between individuals widely in terms of the …

Hepatic fibrogenesis may gradually result to cirrhosis due to the accumulation of
extracellular matrix components as a response to liver injury. Thus, therapeutic decisions in …

Background/Aims: Liver fibrosis is mainly evaluated by qualitative histological examination.
Although histological semi-quantitative scores and quantitative determination with image …

Background and Aims Chronic liver diseases are characterized by inflammatory and fibrotic
liver injuries that often result in liver cirrhosis with its associated complications such as portal …

Background & Aims: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) with transient elastography
(Fibroscan) can accurately diagnose advanced liver fibrosis, but its performance in early …

Background/Aims: Liver fibrosis is one of the most important and characteristic histologic
alterations in progressive and chronic liver diseases. Thus, in both clinical and experimental …

Objective: The present mini-review updated the progress in methodologies based on using
liver biopsy. Data Sources: Articles for study of liver fibrosis, liver biopsy or fibrosis …
