Abstract

Zineb Al Youssoufi*, Lina Seffar and Jalila El Bakkouri
ABSTRACT
Liver fibrosis is a progressive disease that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Its diagnosis is traditionally based on liver biopsy, an invasive method. In order to avoid the complications and discomfort of repeated biopsies, non-invasive tests such as FibroTest ® and the FIB-4 score have been developed to assess liver fibrosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the FIB-4 score for the detection of liver fibrosis, comparing it to the FibroTest ®, which is a reference method. The study aims to determine whether the FIB-4 score can be a reliable and accessible alternative, particularly in developing countries.
