I read with great interest the recent article titled ‘Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) and imaging for measuring fibrosis in hepatitis C virus’ by Turner et al. [1]. In their research, the authors aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of FIB-4 alone or performed in conjunction with imaging to identify likely fibrosis. Ultimately, they concluded that, among patients with newly diagnosed chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, identification of patients with fibrosis depends on the noninvasive measure used.
