Hepatic fibrosis

Indirect scores[1]:


Hepatic cirrhosis

Clinical prediction rules exist to help diagnosis cirrhosis.[3]

  • Pohl's Index is if the AST/ALT ratio ≥1 and platelet count ≤ 150,000/mm3 then cirrhosis is very likely.[4]
  • The Bonacini score is based on the ALT/AST ratio, platelet count, and INR.[5]
    • A score of > 7 or 8 makes cirrhosis more likely.[6]
    • A score of < 3 makes cirrhosis less likely.[6]

In diagnosis of cirrhosis (Ishak scores, 5-6) in patients with hepatitis C, the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) ratio > 1 suggests cirrhosis with accuracy of:[7]

  • Sensitivity = 79%
  • Specificity = 78%
