Serum glycosylated Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-positive Mac-2 binding protein (WFA⁺-M2BP) is a reliable, non-invasive marker of liver fibrosis. This study assessed the ability of WFA⁺-M2BP to diagnose liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and evaluated WFA⁺-M2BP as a predictor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development.
