Discrimination of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Using Transient Elastography in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
BACKGROUND/AIMS The accuracy of noninvasive markers to discriminate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is unsatisfactory. We investigated whether transient elastography (TE) could discriminate patients with NASH from those with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS The patients suspected of NAFLD who underwent liver biopsy and concomitant TE were recruited from five tertiary cent...

متن کاملTransient elastography in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
