Prevalence and Serological Predictors of Liver Fibrosis in Vietnamese Chronic Hepatitis B Patients with Persistently Normal or Mildly Elevated Aminotransferase Level
Significant fibrosis was present in 26.4% of CHB patients with normal or mildly elevated ALT levels. APRI and PLT are reliable and cost-effective to detect early fibrosis in re-source-limited settings. These findings underscore the need to revise Vietnam's CHB management strategies for earlier fibrosis diagnosis and treatment.
