Core Tip

Core tip: Monitoring the stage of liver fibrosis in alcohol abusing persons is important in order to undertake proper therapeutic decisions. The usefulness of liver biopsy in the diagnostics of liver fibrosis is indisputable with the only limitation being its invasive character. Thus, non-invasive tests and biochemical markers determining the stage and dynamics of liver fibrosis in alcohol liver disease are of great significance.
