EASL-ALEH Clinical Practice Guidelines: Non-invasive tests for evaluation of liver disease severity and prognosis.

TL;DR: Liver biopsy gives a snapshot and not an insight into the dynamic changes during the process of fibrogenesis, so immunohistochemical evaluation of cellular markers such as smooth muscle actin expression for hepatic stellate cell activation, cytokeratin 7 for labeling ductular proliferation or CD34 for visualization of sinusoidal endothelial capillarization can provide additional ‘‘functional’’ information.

A simple noninvasive index can predict both significant fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C

TL;DR: It is shown that a simple index using readily available laboratory results can identify CHC patients with significant fibrosis and cirrhosis with a high degree of accuracy and may decrease the need for staging liver biopsy specimens among patients with CHC.
