The paper describes the modern approaches to the use of non-invasive diagnostic methods in infectious Hepatology, provides a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of their use in the study of the liver, and describes their advantages to the needle biopsy. The possible deviations and defects in the use of different methods are shown, as well as the tactics of complex use of non-invasive techniques: identification of liver fibrosis stage based on serum markers (FibroTest panel) and transient elastography. In this study, the results of non-invasive method – the serum biomarkers panel FibroTest – for diagnosing pathologies of the liver is shown for the first time. They have been identified and described the presence and stage of liver fibrosis in patients with various risk of hepatic pathology, sent for the research by their treating physicians for diagnostic purposes.
