Abstract: FibroTouch (FT) has been used widely in clinic. Studies of the FT diagnostic efficiency and influencing factors of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) of liver fibrosis in autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) have shown that FT has a good diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, especially in AIH. However, for patients with primary biliary cholangitis and overlap syndrome of autoimmune hepatitis, FT results should be vigilant. In addition, the diagnostic efficiency of FT. Notably, when using FT to diagnose AILD, the value of elastic stiffness depends on five influencing factors, such as, age, total bile acid, international standardized ratio, FIB-4 index, and prothrombin time.
