Abstract

AASLD and EASL recommend biennial HCC screening for Child-Pugh A and B, but not C. We report a 43-year-old female with alcohol related hepatitis and cirrhosis. Her Fibro test score improved from F4 in 2021 to F2 in 2023 with strict alcohol abstinence. AASLD guidelines for HCC screening in such cases remain unclear.
