475555 tn?1469304339 t forget that none of these tests is that accurate. Both biopsy and APRI, as well as Fibroscan and all the others, are really just aids. And they are most useful as time studies, comparing one time point with the next (in the same test). When you say Fibroscan of 3.3, do you mean the kPa score of the scan? If so, that's very low.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was on the pill Apri for a little over a yr. Had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for endo, a polyp and a cyst. After that I wanted to try for a baby. Anyways, I stopped my birth control the same day I had my surgery and I've never had a problem. I'm not sure about everyone but that was what happened to me. Everything was fine. I had surgery on June 25th, 2010 and so it's been almost 3 weeks. I hope this helps. Good luck, take care!
Avatar m tn As Stephen suggest, test your platelet count (you shall get results the next day) and calculate your APRI score: http://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/page/clinical-calculators/apri If platelet count (APRI) is normal then you should repeat Fibroscan...but if platelet count is very low (APRI high) then I would go straight for biopsy...
Avatar f tn OK. So I was on Apri for a year when I was with my bf. My last period on Apri was July 18, 2008. After that period, I took about 4 of the pills before I decided to go off the pill for a few months, since my bf and I broke up months ago and I don't like taking medicine/hormones I don't need. Naturally, my period started again a few days after I stopped taking the pill, so maybe the beginning of August. Last week, I made a really stupid, stupid mistake and slept with my ex w/o protection.
Avatar n tn This is my first month ever being on birth control and i'm on the 28-day pack pills called Apri. i started taking the last week the "reminder pills" 3 days ago and the way i understood it is that i'm supposed to get my period on the first day i took the reminder pills...could i be pregnant or is there something else wrong?

Avatar m tn it is hcv, not reliable and why waste time and money on something so unreliable when fibroscan is easy, fast and cheap
Avatar m tn In addition, APRI scores decreased significantly in the SVR group than those in non-SVR group during and after antiviral therapy. As APRI is a simple and valid serum fibrosis marker,20,28 rapid reduction of APRI score may reflect a remarkably dynamic process related to improvement of liver fibrosis and inflammation during antiviral therapy. According to the multivariable analysis, APRI was the independent variable associated with the change of serum TC level after antiviral therapy.
Avatar f tn 0.5 and 1.5. That is, an APRI score of less than 0.5 means no or very slight fibrosis, and an APRI score of more than 1.5 means cirrhosis. The intermediate scores approximate the intermediate fibrosis stages. I have now calculated my APRI score for the seven blood tests done between 2006 and now, and the graph of the scores shows a steady progression from early to later stage fibrosis, which is apparently what has happened. That is, I'm a fast progressor (65 years old, geno 1b, etc.).

Avatar n tn I had some really odd symptoms with Yasmin and begged my dr to take me off of it, since then I was on Apri, which is just generic desogen. Initally did much better on this one so I'm not sure how yaz/yasmin works but I can say my withdrawal bleed "period" got way longer on it- I used to only bleed for 4 days on Aleese, then gradually this increased and due to weight gain and water retention switched to Yasmin...
Avatar m tn Time-updated Cox Proportional Hazards models were used to assess the association between the average number of joints smoked/week and progression to significant liver fibrosis (APRI ≥ 1.5), cirrhosis (APRI ≥ 2) or ESLD. Results. At baseline, 53% had smoked marijuana in the past 6 months, consuming a median of 7 joints/week (IQR, 1–21); 40% smoked daily. There was no evidence that marijuana smoking accelerates progression to significant liver fibrosis (APRI ≥ 1.
Avatar n tn I have one sex partner. Please help! I am also on birth control Apri and have been having extreme acne under my jawline on my neck (I read this is hormonal). Please give me your input on what you think is wrong.
7510956 tn?1411671417 Performance was expressed as observed area under the ROC curve (ObAUROC) and AUROC adjusted for DANA (AdjAUROC). Performance of APRI and Fibrotest-Fibrosure was higher than other biomarkers. In all etiologies, AdjAUROC was higher than ObAUROC. APRI showed its best performance in HCV mono-infected cases, with an AdjAUROC of 0.77 and 0.83 for greater than or equal to F2 and F4, respectively. In HBV and NASH patients, its performance was poor (AdjAUROC 0.
Avatar f tn When do you find out the sex,?! i find out the 25th of this month, and im due the 25 of April, How are uou ladies feeling?
Avatar n tn I am 22 years old, and have been on the pill for 2 years. (Apri to be exact for the last year or so) I have never completely missed a pill, or in other words, taken one more than 24 hours after I should have. I typically take them around 8-9pm, and if I forget one, I remember about 8am the next morning....12 hours late, then I take my normal one at 8pm the same day to stay on schedule.
