FIB-4 index at MedCalc and https://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/page/clinical-calculators/fib-4 . For assessing need for biopsy in hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
NAFLD fibrosis score MedCalc
Fibrotic NASH Index (FNI) which contains the AST, HDL, HbA1c[1].
APRI MedCalc
The NAFLD-MESA Index uses "eight predictors: age, sex, race/ethnicity, type 2 diabetes, smoking history, body mass index, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and triglycerides (TG)"[2] The score predicted NAFLD by liver computed tomography (≤ 40 Hounsfield units indicating > 30% hepatic steatosis) with AUC = 0.80.
The LiverRisk score *https://www.liverriskscore.com/) may be more accurate than the FIB-4 or aspartate transferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) at predicting liver stiffness measurements of 6 kPa or more, 10 kPa or more, and 15 kPa[3]. These kPa thresholds correspond to:
- 6 kPa: no fibrosis
- 10 kPa: between F3 and F4 fibrosis
- 15 kPa: above F4 fibrosis
Imaging
Liver stiffness measurements: "LS of 8 and 12.5 kPa represent generally accepted cut-off values for F3 and F4 fibrosis. LS highly correlates with portal pressure, and esophageal varices are likely at values >20 kPa."[4]
- LS of 8 suggests F3 fibrosis
- LS of 12.5 kPa suggests F4 fibrosis
CT scan: "≤ 40 Hounsfield units indicating > 30% hepatic steatosis"[2].
