FIB-4 Calculator
What is the calculator for and who produced it?
The Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) is used as a non-invasive tool for the presence of advanced liver fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes
How should it be used?
NICE advises not to use liver function tests to monitor patients with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) but use either FIB-4, NAFLD or ELF to estimate the risk of liver fibrosis.
Interpretation of score
A score of greater than 2.67 suggests advanced liver fibrosis. Patients at high risk of advanced liver fibrosis should be referred to a hepatology specialist for further assessment and management.
