Gastroenterology 2012; Chan HL. Gastroenterology 2012 Indication of non-invasive measurement of liver fibrosis in CHB Transient elastography has better prediction for advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis than serum biomarkers in chronic hepatitis B (B1). Transient elastography can be used to exclude severe fibrosis-cirrhosis in inactive carriers (HBeAg negative, low viral load (HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml) and normal ALT). Liver biopsy should only be considered in doubtful cases after transient elastography (A1). EASL.
