Background and Aim: Early detection, accurate evaluation, and proper follow-up of fibrosis in chronic liver disease are crucial for improving disease prognosis. Indirect biochemical fibrosis tests, such as the AST-toPlatelet Ratio Index (APRI) and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score, have been developed, incorporating parameters like AST, ALT, and platelet count. However, the influence of factors such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) on fibrosis tests such as APRI and FIB-4 remains unclear, and this study aimed to evaluate its impact.
