Comparison of chitinase-3-like protein 1, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, and fibrosis-4 index with shear-wave elastography

BackgroundIn the past, there has been an exponential increase in the potential biomarkers that can be used for staging of liver fibrosis. In light of intraobserver and intralobular variations, criticism has been directed at liver biopsy, and its efficacy has been challenged. Shear-wave elastography
