Synopsis: 
This study assesses the value of Fibroscan and fibrosis serum models, including aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI), in predicting significant liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection compared with liver biopsy.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Significant liver fibrosis is recognized as the key link of therapy and prognosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB). The present study is designed to estimate the benefits of FibroScan (FS) in diagnosing significant fibrosis in patients with CHB.
