Abstract:
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological process in the progression of various chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and liver biopsy with the highest accuracy in diagnosis cannot be used as a routine examination due to several drawbacks. This article introduces several serological and imaging methods used in clinical practice and analyzes their advantages/disadvantages and the current status of research. It is believed that thanks to the efforts of experts and scholars, noninvasive diagnostic methods have become more and more important and may replace liver biopsy and become an effective method for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in the near future.
