Aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) are the two most widely studied noninvasive markers of liver fibrosis. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of APRI and FIB-4 for liver fibrosis in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) using liver biopsy...
