What is a HCV FibroSure test?
HEPATITIS C VIRUS(HCV) FIBROSURE® HCV FibroSure® is a noninvasive blood test of 6 biochemical. markers that provides METAVIR fibrosis staging and. necroinflammatory grading.
What does FibroSure measure?
FibroSURE™ is a serum biomarker test that is designed to assess liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B or C, alcoholic liver disease, and metabolic steatohepatitis (for those who are overweight, have diabetes, or hyperlipidemia).
What is included in the FibroSure test?
ASH FibroSURE consists of ten serum markers including ALT, A2-macroglobulin, apolipoprotein A-1, total bilirubin, GGT, haptoglobin, AST, glucose, total cholesterol and triglycerides. A prognostic algorithm is used to report quantitative scores for fibrosis, steatosis and alcoholic steatohepatitis.
How accurate is a Fibrosure test?
The testing algorithm using Fibrosure was the most accurate non-invasive strategy with a sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of 84 %, 87 %, and 86 %, respectively.

How much does FibroSure cost?
In the base case, the average expected cost of using the Fibrosure testing algorithm was $488 per person. The cost per accurate diagnosis was $568.
How accurate is FibroSure?
How does the HCV FibroSure test work?
HCV FibroSURE uses a combination of six serum markers of liver function plus age and gender in a patented algorithm to generate a measure of fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity in the liver corresponding to the METAVIR scoring system for stage of fibrosis and grade of necroinflammatory activity (NI).
What is FibroSure used for in hepatitis C?
In patients with HCV infection FibroSURE has been used to determine liver status before initiation of HCV therapy and six months after completion of therapy. It is also ordered for patients who are at increased risk of complications from a liver biopsy.
Which FibroSure scores are characteristic of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection?
In patients with HCV infection, the negative predictive value of a FibroSURE score <0.31 is 85% compared to liver biopsy and the positive predictive value of a Fibrotest score >0.48 is 61%.
What is the diagnosis code for hepatitis C virus (HCV)?
