iver biopsy examination is a tool which gives a detail

description of the necroinflammatory activity and degree

of fibrosis to treat the patient accordingly for its prognosis.

Biopsies can be examined by different scoring systems like old

qualitative classification Knodell histology activity index (HAI),

Ishak modified HAI, Scheuer scoring system, Metavir system,

Batts Ludwig system. The objective of the talk will be to identify

the merits and demerits of different scoring systems and to

compare different scoring systems used for this purpose. One

hundred and twenty reported copies of patients having chronic

viral hepatitis were retrieved from computer system. Then

slides were taken out for these reports. Slides were analyzed for

grading and staging using different scoring systems. Biopsies

with 6-8 portal areas were included. Patients with incomplete

history were excluded from study. It was concluded that it

doesn’t matter which system you use. More complex systems

can provide more information than simple ones, but they are

less reproducible. So the system preferred by you should be

the one, better correlated and understood by the clinician.
