alterations in progressive and chronic liver diseases. Thus, in both clinical and experimental …

The evaluation of hepatic fibrosis on histological sections is of great interest for the staging
and follow–up of chronic liver disease. Because no reliable scoring system is yet available …

Background FibroTest (FT) is the most frequently used serum fibrosis marker and consists of
an algorithm of five fibrosis markers (alfa2-macroglobulin, apolipoproteinA1, haptoglobin …

liver biopsy. Accurate determination of a threshold greyscale level representing fibrous …

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 …

It has been reported that liver fibrosis could be reversed after eliminating liver injuries. This
