Staging chronic hepatitis C in seven categories using fibrosis biomarker (FibroTest™) and transient elastography (FibroScan®).
BACKGROUND & AIMS FibroTest™ (FT) and Transient Elastography (TE) have been validated as non-invasive markers of METAVIR fibrosis stages from F0 to F4 using biopsy, and as prognostic markers of liver related mortality in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The aim was to extend the validation of FT and TE as markers of critical steps defined by occurrence of cirrhosis without complications (F4.1...
متن کاملThe use of transient elastography and FibroTest for monitoring hepatotoxicity in patients receiving methotrexate for psoriasis.
IMPORTANCE There is a need for noninvasive tools to monitor hepatotoxicity in patients with psoriasis who are receiving methotrexate sodium. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of transient elastography (TE) and FibroTest (FibroSURE in the United States), an indirect serum marker of fibrosis, in this population. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Patients receiving methotrexate therapy for psorias...
متن کاملReliability of transient elastography for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND Transient elastography (TE) has received increasing attention as a means to evaluate disease progression in patients with chronic liver disease. AIM To assess the value of TE for predicting the stage of fibrosis. METHODS Liver biopsy and TE were performed in 150 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C-related hepatitis (92 men and 58 women, age 50.6 (SD 12.5) years on the s...
متن کاملAssessment of hepatic fibrosis by transient elastography in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving methotrexate
Background and Aim: Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used in the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but, its hepatotoxicity potential, always has been a major concern. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (TE) method and its relationship with cumulative dose of MTX and duration of treatment, in rheumatoid arthritis patient...
متن کاملTransient elastography to assess hepatic fibrosis in hemodialysis chronic hepatitis C patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is the gold standard for staging hepatic fibrosis in hemodialysis patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) before renal transplantation or antiviral therapy, concerns exist about serious postbiopsy complications. Using transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan(®)) to predict the severity of hepatic fibrosis has not been prospectively...
