Abstract
The FIB-4 index, a non-invasive tool, is widely used for diagnosing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of the FIB-4 index in detecting advanced liver fibrosis by comparing it to liver biopsy results. Data from 400 patients with chronic hepatitis C were analyzed, focusing on the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the FIB-4 index. Our findings suggest that the FIB-4 index is a reliable tool for identifying advanced fibrosis, offering a simpler alternative to invasive procedures.
