Objective Aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), aspartate amino transferase-to-alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio, platelet count, AST, albumin, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were retrospectively evaluated for the prediction of advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma in this study.Patients In total, the 97 selected patients consisted of 9 (9.3%) patients with non-B, non-C chronic hepatitis, 48 (49.5%) patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 40 (41.2%) patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC).Results The APRI, but not AST/ALT or other serum markers, showed a significant correlation with advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis (p
