Abstract
The application relates to hepatic fibrosis, specifically to hepatic fibrosis that may appear in a patient infected with one or more hepatitis viruses and/or who is suffering from hepatitis, specifically chronic hepatitis. The application provides methods and means for determining the stage (or degree) of hepatic fibrosis of such a patient. Specifically, the methods and means of the application make it possible to determine whether or not the stage (or degree) of hepatic fibrosis of the patient has exceeded the stage of light fibrosis. The methods and means of the invention use a combination of biomarkers such as, in particular, the CXCL10 protein and hyaluronic acid (HA).
