Non invasive markers fibrosis recently developed are now interesting alternative to liver biopsy in order to appreciate the severity of chronic hepatitis C. Serological markers indeed Fibrotest and Fibrometer have a good diagnostic accuracy to discriminate patients with mild fibrosis those with severe fibrosis. For intermediate stages, the discordance is very important and often justify liver biopsy or using of several makers.
Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is a new non invasive method subject to good conditions of utilisation. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by the using of all the makers, especially of Fibrotest. Transient elastography is also promising method for assessing the severity of cirrhosis.
