FIB-4 (Fibrosis-4) Calculator

Non-invasive tool to estimate liver fibrosis severity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
FIB-4 = (Age x AST) / (PLT x √ALT)










FIB-4 < 1.3 : Low risk (90% negative predictive value)
FIB-4 1.3 ~ 2.67 : Indeterminate risk
FIB-4 > 2.67 : High risk (80% positive predictive value)
※ Interpretation may be less reliable for patients under 35 or over 65 years old.
