Screening for Advanced Liver Fibrosis Using Non-invasive Tests in Primary Care
Liver fibrosis screening is possible at the asymptomatic stage through a healthcare management strategy currently recommended for patients with risk factors for chronic liver disease. It is based on a sequential strategy involving a 1st-line test, fibrosis score calculation (FIB-4). Given this opportunity to identify advanced fibrosis in asymptomatic patients, the project aims to set up this screening program in the Grenoble area with Biogroup Laboratories, in collaboration with the Hepato-gastroenterology department (HGE) of Grenoble University Hospital. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of sequential screening using FIB-4, followed by a specialized fibrosis test for the diagnosis of advanced hepatic fibrosis
