Abstract:Chronic liver disease is a major problem in field of global public health. Liver fibrosis is one of the most critical pathological stages in this disease progression. Its stage and severity play a crucial role in the therapeutic effect and prognosis of liver disease. With the emergence of new non-invasive diagnostic methods within recent years, non-invasive methods are largely used as an alternative to liver biopsy to assess the severity of chronic liver disease. These methods are roughly divided into 2 categories: "biological"methods based on serum biomarkers; "physics" methods based on elastography. This study aims to briefly review recent advances on non-invasive diagnostic methods for liver fibrosis in common liver diseases.
