Serum Markers of Liver Fibrosis: Combining the BIPED Classification and the Neo-Epitope Approach in the Development of New Biomarkers

Background: Fibrosis is a central histological feature of chronic liver diseases and is characterized by the accumulation and reorganization of the extracellular matrix. The gold standard for assessment of fibrosis is histological evaluation of a percutaneous liver biopsy. Albeit a considerable effo...
