Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological process of chronic liver disease, and the number of deaths from liver cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer is increasing year-by-year worldwide. Presently, the detection methods to evaluate hepatic fibrosis mainly include hepatic histological examination, imaging and serum markers, but all these have many limitations in clinical aspects. Recently, there have been more and more studies related to the development of non-coding RNA, exosomes and liver fibrosis that are considered as a new type of biomolecular markers with potential clinical application. Herein, we did a preliminary assessment in conjunction with relevant advances to provide a reference for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis.
