Practical Guide, Challenges, and Pitfalls in Liver Fibrosis Staging - 01/08/23
, Matthew M. Yeh, MD, PhD bAbstract |
Liver fibrosis staging has many challenges, including the large number of proposed staging systems, the heterogeneity of the histopathologic changes of many primary liver diseases, and the potential for slight differences in histologic interpretation to significantly affect clinical management. This review focuses first on fibrosis regression. Following this, each of the major categories of liver disease is discussed in regard to (1) appropriate fibrosis staging systems, (2) emerging concepts, (3) current clinical indications for liver biopsy, (4) clinical decisions determined by fibrosis stage, and (5) histologic challenges and pitfalls related to staging.
