FIB-8 Index for a Patient with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Parameters:

(1) FIB-4 score of Sterling et al based on age, serum AST, platelet count and serum ALT, typically in range from 0 to 5

(2) body mass index in kg per square meter

(3) albumin to globulin ratio

(4) serum GGT in U/L

(5) diabetes

total score =

= SUM(points for all of the parameters)

Interpretation:

• The low cutoff for >= F2 fibrosis is 0.88 and the high cutoff is 1.77.

• In Prasoppokakorn et al a score from 1,1 to 2.4 was seen in F0-1 and 2.2 to 4.0 in >=F2.

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.77.
