This prospective and multicenter study is to determine the diagnostic performance (accuracy, specificity and sensitivity) of transient elastography (FibroTouch) for liver fibrosis assessment in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients using ROC analysis, and liver biopsy as the reference. Actual 517 patients will be enrolled to guarantee 500 final statistical cases; and ≥100 cases are required for fibrosis stage S0/1, S2, S3 and S4 (compensatory stage of cirrhosis), respectively. For each stage, the case is assigned as equally as possible.

The Clinical Value Evaluation of FibroTouch for Non-invasive Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B by Using Liver Pathology as the Gold Standard for Judging CHB Liver Fibrosis Stage
Timeframe: Participants will be offered a FibroTouch examination before or after taking the test of liver biopsy, and the time interval should not exceed 3 months.
