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%.
