143 patients with chronic hepatitis C were investigated. The following two parameters were determined: the asparate to alanine aminotransferase ratio and the asparate aminotransferase to platelets count index. A liver biopsy was performed for every patient and stages of liver fibrosis were evaluated. Both parameters confirmed a positive correlation with liver fibrosis, which can be useful in predicting the progression of chronic hepatitis C.
