Figure 6 Proposed algorithm for the noninvasive assessment of fibrosis by FibroScan in patients with ALD.
GOT levels are used as criteria to exclude ongoing steatohepatitis that may falsely increase LS diagnosis independent of fibrosis stage. F4 cirrhosis can be detected by FibroScan with high accuracy if restricted to patients with GOT levels < 100 U/L. F3 fibrosis stage can be assessed with comparable accuracy if restricted to patients with GOT < 50 U/L (details in text).
