APRI is a non-invasive fibrosis marker that combines AST elevation relative to lab ULN and thrombocytopenia signal from platelet count. It is commonly used in chronic hepatitis and broader fibrosis triage pathways.
Formula: APRI = ((AST / AST ULN) x 100) / Platelets
Higher APRI values generally indicate greater fibrosis likelihood, while lower values suggest lower probability of advanced fibrosis.
Use APRI for non-invasive fibrosis risk stratification when AST and platelets are available, especially in initial hepatology triage.
APRI can be distorted by acute hepatitis flares, lab-specific AST ULN definitions, and non-hepatic causes of thrombocytopenia.
