Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers [PDF]
Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART ...

Comparison of ELF, FibroTest and FibroScan for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis [PDF]
Background: FibroTest (FT) is the most frequently used serum fibrosis marker and consists of an algorithm of five fibrosis markers (alfa2-macroglobulin, apolipoproteinA1, haptoglobin, GGT, bilirubin). The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test consists of an
