We explored the accuracy of three scoring systems: the fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4), the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI score), and the aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR) in 496 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who had undergone percutaneous liver biopsy at a viral hepatitis clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and viral hepatitis.
