Article Synopsis
- M2BPGi is a new biomarker for assessing liver fibrosis, specifically linked to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and this study aimed to analyze its accuracy.
- The analysis included 11 studies with 1836 patients, assessing M2BPGi's sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic capability, revealing moderate accuracy for predicting significant fibrosis, severe fibrosis, and cirrhosis.
- Further research is needed to evaluate M2BPGi's effectiveness across different conditions and treatments affecting liver health.
Background And Aim: Emerging published data on the accuracy of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio (GPR) for diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related fibrosis are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to systematically review the performance of GPR for diagnosing HBV-related significant fibrosis, severe fibrosis, and cirrhosis.
Patients And Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE was conducted before July 2018.

Background And Objective: The correct diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a clinical challenge. Emerging published data on the accuracy of serum IgG4 and IgG for diagnosing AIP are inconsistent. This study was performed to better elucidate the accuracy of serum IgG4 and IgG in diagnosing AIP.
