Evaluation of hepatic fibrosis parameter model and elastic modulus of liver and spleen for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis b

Objective Toinvestigate the diagnostic value of hepatic fibrosis parameter model and elastic modulus of liver and spleen in hepatic fibrosis of chronic hepatitis b. Methods 77 patients with hepatic fibrosis of chronic hepatitis in the infection clinic were recruited from July 2016 to December 2018. According to the classification of hepatic fibrosis, 23 patients were classified as S1, 20 as S2, 18 as S3 and 16 as S4.The serum indexes of liver function in all patients were tested, FIB-4, APRI and GPR model indexes were calculated. SWE values of liver and spleen were evaluated, and the correlation between FIB-4, APRI, GPR and SWE was analyzed. Results The SWE values of liver and spleen in the study group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01), and the differences in serum GGT, PLT, AST and portal vein velocity between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). GGT and PLT were correlated with SWE values of liver and spleen, which were statistically significant (P<0.01).The model indexes of fib-4, APRI and GPR in the study group were all higher than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that liver SWE value and spleen SWE value were positively correlated with fib-4, APRI and GPR, and the differences were significant (P<0.01), with a higher correlation with GPR. Conclusion GGT, PLT and GPR are positively correlated with SWE of liver and spleen, and combined detection can improve the early diagnosis accuracy of liver fibrosis.
