Impacted wisdom teeth can cause several problems in the mouth: 1  Damage to other teeth. If the wisdom tooth pushes against the second molar, it may damage the second molar or increase the risk of infection in that area. 2  Cysts. The wisdom tooth develops in a sac within the jawbone. 3  Decay.
The performance characteristics of FibroSURE have been determined by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Currently, evidence based data do not support the use of these markers.
In patients with HCV infection FibroSURE has been used to determine liver status before initiation of HCV therapy and six months after completion of therapy. It is also ordered for patients who are at increased risk of complications from a liver biopsy. In patients with HCV infection, the negative predictive value of a FibroSURE score <0.31 is 85% compared to liver biopsy and the positive predictive value of a Fibrotest score >0.48 is 61%.
