Abstract:
Nowadays, many clinical studies have demonstrated that some patients can achieve the reversal of liver cirrhosis. Therefore, the methods for accurate assessment of whether the reversal of liver cirrhosis can be achieved and when it is achieved have become the hotspots in clinical research. This helps with the specific evaluation of therapeutic outcome, the adjustment of treatment regimen, and the prediction of prognosis. This article introduces the application of various indices after the reversal of liver cirrhosis due to different etiologies from the aspects of noninvasive models and liver biopsy, in order to search for the methods that can accurately reflect the features of reversal.
