ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Non- invasive parameters of liver fibrosis are being widely incorporated and adopted in clinical practice, of them, 2 ratios APRI and FIB-4 were proposed and applied. The gamma-glutamyl transferase -to platelet ratio (GPR) was developed and investigated as available test that is useful in predicting liver fibrosis stages in chronic HBV patients. We aimed to estimate the diagnostic performance of GPR compared to APRI in assessing different fibrosis stages estimated by ultrasound based Transient Elastography in chronic HCV Egyptian patients
