Influencing 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...
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 کاملThe inverse effect of meal intake on controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness as assessed by transient elastography
BACKGROUND Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness (LS) measured by transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan®) have been used for steatosis and fibrosis assessment. We evaluated the effect of meal intake on CAP and LS values. METHODS Forty patients who had had a liver biopsy within the previous month were recruited. The biopsy was graded for fibrosis (F) and steatosis (S) stag...
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 کاملAssessment of noninvasive liver stiffness in inactive HBsAg carriers by transient elastography
BACKGROUND Chronic viral hepatitis can be evaluated using invasive or noninvasive methods. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate liver stiffness in inactive HBsAg carriers compared with normal subjects and determine if it is influenced by viral load in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated 140 inactive HBsAg carriers and 152 normal subjects (without any ...
