Association Between Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)/Platelet Ratio and Degree of Fibrosis in Patient with Chronic Hepatitis B

Abstract

Background: Histological examination of the liver remains the gold standard of assessing liver cirrhosis. However, this examination is an invasive method with many complications. This study aims to determine the relationship between degree of liver fibrosis with red cell distribution width (RDW)/platelet ratio which can then be used as non-invasive diagnostic method of liver fibrosis.Method
