Abstract

Dear Editor:We read with interest the work by Yimaz et al. entitled ‘Noninvasive assessment of liver FIBROSIS with the aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI): Usefulness in patients with chronic liver disease’ in th journal of Hepatity Monthly. This study adds to the growing body of literature showing the utility of the APRI as a noninvasive method to assess liver FIBROSIS. This retrospective study included 455 patients with different liver diseases: 207 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 108 with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), and 140 patients with nonalcoholic FATTY LIVER disease (NAFLD). APRI scores were calculated and compared to liver biopsy findings in all patients. ROC curves were created to assess the accuracy of the APRI as a predictor of the absence or presence of FIBROSIS (F0 vs. F1-4). The authors concluded that APRI was significantly associated with FIBROSIS scores in patients with CHC and NAFLD, but not in those with CHB. This is a well-designed study with adequate sample size that addresses an important clinical question.
