LOINC Code


LOINC code98488-0
nameLiver fibrosis score in Serum Calculated by FIB4
descriptionThe FIB-4 index is a simple noninvasive approach using selected laboratory measures (AST, ALT, platelet count) in combination with patient age to assess if an individual is at higher risk for advanced liver fibrosis (F3-F4).

propertyScore
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSer  =  Serum
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256

formula (readable)Age, AST and ALT, Platelet are used to calculate a score according to the formula: FIB-4 = Age (years) × AST (U/L) / [PLT(109/L) × √ALT (U/L)].
