2 New York State HCV Provider Webinar Series Overview of Fibrosis Staging, Child s Pugh, MELD Scores
3 Objectives Discuss the rationale to assess fibrosis in HCV infected patients Review prevalence of advanced fibrosis in US HCV infected patients Discuss techniques to assess fibrosis Lab testing Non-invasive imaging Liver Biopsy Review Childs-Pugh Score and MELD related to predicting patient outcomes Analyze treatment response rates in HCV infected patients with cirrhosis
4 What is the Prevalence of Cirrhosis in US Patients Infected with HCV?
5 HCV Survey Participants (%) NHANES: Prevalence of Cirrhosis and Advanced Fibrosis Among US Adults With HCV ( and ) An estimated 37,5 Americans with cirrhosis and 347,8 with advanced fibrosis (27-212) Nearly one in five US adults with HCV infection have cirrhosis During Prevalence of Cirrhosis or Advanced Fibrosis Among US Residents With HCV % 16% Cirrhosis was associated with Increasing age (OR: 1.4) 1 7% 8% 9% 1% Diabetes (OR: 2.33) Obesity (OR: 2.96) 5 Advanced fibrosis was associated with Increasing age (OR: 1.8) Diabetes (OR: 3.37) Udompap P, et al. J Hepatol. 216;64; Cirrhosis (APRI >2 [Ishak 5-6]) Advanced Fibrosis (FIB-4) Rates of Fibrosis are Increasing as the Patient Population Ages
6 Rationale to Assess Fibrosis in Patients with HCV Presence of cirrhosis: Triggers routine cirrhosis care Evaluation for esophageal and/or gastric varices Surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma May effect rate of SVR May affect treatment duration May require use of ribavirin Does not require liver biopsy! Non invasive tests APRI/Fib-4/elastography/MRI/Fibroscan/Fibrosure All patients with liver disease should undergo an assessment of fibrosis
7 Compensated vs. Decompensated Cirrhosis Patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis have portal hypertension and/or one or more of the following complications Ascites (Hepato-renal Syndrome, hepatic hydrothorax) Hepatic Encephalopathy Varices (esophageal,gastric) Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy Hepatocellular Carcinoma
8 Survival Probability (%) Poor Survival Rates in Patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis Compensated HCV cirrhosis HCV cirrhosis with a complication e.g. Decompensated Cirrhosis Months A B Patients at risk Patients with HCC at time zero were excluded Fattovich, et al. Gastro. 1997:112:
9 Tools to Assess: Fibrosis/Cirrhosis/Portal Hypertension Physical Exam Nodular liver, splenomegaly Presence of spider angiomata, palmar erythema, gynecomastia, caput medusa Radiology Caveat: findings are specific for cirrhosis and/or portal HTN, but are not sensitive Helpful if studies reveal: Nodular liver Enlarged caudate lobe Enlarged Spleen Reversal of flow in portal vein or the presence of portal vein collaterals
10 Lab Tests to Assess Fibrosis Liver Enzymes ( AST/ALT) may be normal or elevated in patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis Normal ALT does not mean inactive HCV Liver Tests including bilirubin, albumin, INR may be normal until patients have advanced cirrhosis Liver tests that suggest advanced fibrosis/ cirrhosis include: Platelet count < 15 K AST:ALT ration > 1 Elevated globulins
11 Noninvasive Methods to Assess Hepatic Fibrosis Serum Tests AST to platelet ratio (APRI) FIB4: Age, AST, ALT, platelets Fibrosure (Fibrotest in Europe) Other lab techniques: ELF Forns Hepascore Measurement of liver stiffness Transient elastography Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging Magnetic resonance elastography Castera L. Gastroenterology. 212;142:
12 APRI and FIB-4 Calculation > 1. specificity 72% for F4 fibrosis < 1.45 = F-F1 fibrosis > 3.25 = F3-F4 fibrosis Zhu X. Dig Dis Sci. 211:56:
13 Fibrosure Fibrosure ( available in US) Fibrotest ( available in Europe) Components of these tests: Age Gender serum y-glutamyl transferase (GGT) total bilirubin (TB) a-2 macroglobulin Haptoglobin apolipoprotein A1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) if also assessing inflammation Result METAVIR F F3-F F F F1-F F F-F F Results
14 Hepascore Forn s Score APRI Fibrosure Fibrotest MP3 Fibrometer Benefits of Non-Invasive Fibrosis Testing Good for mild vs advanced fibrosis Cheap, noninvasive Best validated in hepatitis C 1. Significant overlap across stages May be influenced by other factors Caveat: may not be so sensitive for F2-F Leroy. J Hepatol. 27;
15 How Accurate are Non-Invasive Tests of Fibrosis? Systematic Review of 172 Studies Test Sensitivity Specificity AUROC Platelet < APRI >.5 APRI > AST/ALT > ELF > FIB-4 > 1.45 FIB-4 > Fibrotest >.1 Fibrotest > Forns > 4.2 Forns > Hepascore > Chou and Wasson. Ann Int Med. 213;158:87-82.
16 Liver Stiffness by Transient Elastography Ultrasound-based technique Determines liver stiffness Correlates well with fibrosis No ceiling, ie, increases with worsening cirrhosis predicts complications (eg, varices) Simple to use minimal training Other methods in development Shear wave elastography Caveats: Fails in up to 2% (especially in obese patients) improved with XL probe. Influenced by inflammation it falsely elevates measurements
17 Logarithm of Transient Elastometry Measurement (log kpa) Transient Elastometry Measurement (log kpa) Liver Stiffness by Transient Elastography Very good for minimal fibrosis (F-2) vs cirrhosis (F4) Lots of overlap in the middle Becoming more widely available P < Boursier J, et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 211;16: n = 15 n = 49 n = 26 n = 14 n = Fibrosis Stage
18 Correlation Between Liver Stiffness (kpa) & Fibrosis Stage *Gastroentérol Clin Biol. 28;32,58-67; **J Hepatol. 29;49: Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 28;28: ; ***Hepatology. 21;51: Gastroentérol Clin Biol. 28;32:58-67.
19 Shearwave Elastography allows Ultrasound and Assessment of Fibrosis to be performed Simultaneously F1: Patient with F1 liver fibrosis, exhibiting mean elasticity values of 6.8 kpa. Standard deviation of,7 kpa demonstrate tissue homogeneity
20 Combining Fibroscan and Fibrotest/Fibrosure May Increase Accuracy of Fibrosis Assessment and Decrease Requirement for Liver Biopsy FS 7.1 kpa and FT.48 (n=49) Disagree FS < 7.1 kpa and FT >.48 (n=29) HCV patients (n=32) FIBROSCAN + FIBROTEST (n=32) FS failure (n=8) FS < 7.1 kpa and FT.48 (n=87) Agree FS 7.1 kpa and FT >.48 (n=129) Liver Biopsy was required to assess fibrosis infrequently and only when Fibroscan and Fibrotest results did not concur LIVER BIOPSY NEEDED (n=86) Significant fibrosis absent or present No need for liver biopsy (n=216) Castera L. J Hepatology. 21;52:
21 Overall Survival (%) Overall Survival (%) Fibroscan and Fibrosure Results Predict Overall 5 Year Patient Survival in HCV Infection B kpa >9.5 kpa >3 kpa >2 kpa C >.75 >.8 >.85 >.9.4 >4 kpa.4.2 >5 kpa.2 >.95. P<.1 P< Follow-up (Months) Follow-up (Months) Verginol, et al. Gastroenterology. 211;14:197.
22 Measures stiffness of liver by introducing shear waves via MRI. Older MRI units can be upgraded to perform MRE Software Upgrade allows assessment of Liver Stiffness Yin M, et al. Radiology :16622.
23 Liver Biopsy Pros Gold standard for intermediate fibrosis stages Assess activity (inflammation) Other diagnoses Cons Fatty liver Autoimmune Invasive Complications* Sampling error Expensive Requires experts Biopsy Pathology *Complications include: Pain, bleeding, hollow viscus perforation mortality in.5%
24 Indications for Liver Biopsy Documented HCV infection (HCV RNA positive) plus: Inconclusive, unreliable, or unavailable noninvasive tests Diagnostic uncertainty Concern about concomitant condition Fatty liver Alcohol Autoimmune hepatitis Drug-induced liver injury Other i.e, unexplained lab results (AMA, ANA, Ceruloplasmin, Alpha 1 AT, Ferritin)
25 Options for Liver Biopsy in Patients Unable to Undergo Transcutaneous Liver Biopsy In patients who are coagulapathic and/or have significant ascites, transcutaneous liver biopsy may not be possible Transjugular liver biopsy with hepatic and portal pressure measurements can provide liver tissue and assess if the patient has portal HTN Portal pressure free hepatic vein pressure > 1 mmhg = clinically significant portal HTN, when ascites, varices, encephalopathy may occur liver deflated balloon Free hepatic Vein pressure liver Inflated balloon Wedged Hepatic Vein pressure to assess Portal pressure
