FIB-4 and APRI scores play an important role in the noninvasive prediction of fibrosis in NASH patients, but the AST/ALT ratio is not sufficient. On the other hand, although the guidelines recommend using these scoring systems as a screening tool, there is no clarity as to the appropriate ideal cut-off values. At this point, FIB-4 score stands out with high sensitivity and specificity especially in the prediction of severe fibrosis.
