Liver fibr score SerPl Calc.FibroMeter

Definition

  • This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the FibroMeter Virus package of tests, which is intended as a surrogate marker of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and necro-inflammatory activity in patients with chronic hepatitis C with or without co-infection with HIV and in active carriers of hepatitis B virus. The fibrosis score ranges from 0 to 1 and is calculated using a proprietary algorithm based on seven lab tests (AST, ALT, GGT, prothrombin index, platelet count, urea, and alpha-2-macroglobulin) plus the patient's age and gender.
