Diagnosis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis |
摘要 |
This invention relates to method of diagnosing the presence and/or severity of a liver pathology and/or of monitoring the effectiveness of a curative treatment against a liver pathology in an individual, leading to a score, comprising the combination, of at least one blood test and of at least one data issued from a physical method of diagnosing liver fibrosis, said data being selected from the group consisting of medical imaging data and clinical measurements, said combination being performed through a mathematical function. This invention also relates to a method wherein the combination through a mathematical function, of at least one blood test and of at least one data issued from a physical method of diagnosing liver fibrosis, is performed at least twice and the at least two resulting scores are combined in an algorithm based on the diagnostic reliable intervals. |

1. A microprocessor comprising a computer algorithm to perform a method of diagnosing the presence and/or severity of a liver pathology and/or of monitoring the effectiveness of a curative treatment against a liver pathology in an individual comprising:
obtaining a blood test score of at least one blood test from an individual, wherein the blood test comprises obtaining a blood sample from the individual and analyzing a marker for liver pathology in the blood sample to obtain a score; obtaining a result of using at least one measuring device to practice a non-invasive physical method for diagnosing liver fibrosis, wherein the physical method is further defined as comprising medical imaging and/or clinical measurement and is further defined as elastometry; and performing a mathematical function to combine the blood test score with the result of the physical method for diagnosing liver function to obtain a second score useful for the diagnosis of the presence and/or severity of a liver pathology and/or of monitoring the effectiveness of a curative treatment against a liver pathology in the individual. |
