Noninvasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease

Abstract

liver fibrosis is known to be a pathological process that is considered to be consequence of a lot of liver insults that causes chronic liver injury. Hepatic fibrosis can occur in response to viral, immune, and toxic-metabolic insults and consists of an accumulation of fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) components. It is mostly considered to be irreversible because it is just like a silent killer as it doesn’t show any particular signs and symptoms. But early diagnosis could be helpful as in early stages it is somehow reversible and doesn’t progress to serious liver involvement.
