Increased liver stiffness measurement values using transient elastography in Egyptian patients with acute viral hepatitis
Transient elastography (TE) is one of the most widely used noninvasive techniques for the assessment of the stage of liver fibrosis. This technique is a rapid, painless, non-invasive, reproducible, can be used in different liver diseases, it takes information from a much larger portion of the tissue in comparison with liver biopsy. Increased liver stiffness (LS) is not always diagnostic of fibr...
متن کاملTransient Elastography-Based Liver Stiffness Age-Dependently Increases in Children
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pediatric use of liver transient elastography (TE) is attractive for its non-invasiveness, but reference values have not been established. We aimed to determine reference values for TE in children. METHODS In pediatric patients (1 to 18 years), TE (FibroScan®) with an M probe was used for both liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and measurement of hepatic fat deposition by u...
متن کاملPerformance of liver stiffness measurements by transient elastography in chronic hepatitis.
AIM To compare results of liver stiffness measurements by transient elastography (TE) obtained in our patients population with that used in a recently published meta-analysis. METHODS This was a single center cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with chronic viral hepatitis scheduled for liver biopsy at the outpatient ward of our Infectious Diseases Department were enrolled. TE was car...
متن کاملHepatitis activity should be considered a confounder of liver stiffness measured with MR elastography.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of hepatitis activity on liver stiffness measurements and the role of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in liver fibrosis staging by MR elastography (MRE). MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured liver stiffness (kPa) in 135 patients by MRE and histologically assessed fibrosis and hepatitis activity within 2 months. Stepwise multiple linear regression was performed...
متن کاملInfluencing factors of transient elastography in detecting liver stiffness.
Liver stiffness, which correlates well with liver fibrosis stage, can be measured noninvasively by transient elastography, also known as Fibroscan. The present study aimed to determine the independent factors influencing Fibroscan detection by multiple regression analysis. A total of 181 patients who required liver biopsy were enrolled. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was detected by Fibrosca...
