Background: Transient elastography is very sensitive noninvasive tool to assess liver fibrosis in NAFLD patients. But it is costly and not widely available There are also seromarkers (APRI & FBI4) for ruling out significant liver fibrosis. This study intends to compare between seromakers & transient elastography result for assessment of significant liver fibrosis (SF) in NAFDL patients. Methods: This was an observational cross sectional study done in Sheikh Russel National Gastroliver Institute & Hospital from April 2019 to December 2019. A total 111 patients were selected by purposive sampling method. Demographic, clinical and biochemical data were collected. Liver fibrosis was assessed by transient elastography. Aspertate transaminase (ASI) to platelet ratio index (APRI) & FIB-4 score were compared among the non-significant fibrosis (F2-F4) patients. Result: The total number of study population was 111, among them 39 (35.3%) had significant liver fibrosis (Kpa>7.2; F0 to F1). There was significant difference in between SF & non SF groups in terms of mean serum ALT, AST, albumin and platelet count. APRT and FIB-4 were significantly higher in SF group. APRI had better accuracy (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve=0.925) than FIB-4) 0.885) in ruling out SF. Conclusion: Seromarkers are comparable to transient elastography in assessment of significant liver fibrosis in NAFLD patients. Among them APRI is more accurate in determining significant fibrosis.
