Liver damage in HIV+HBV co-infected patients determined by transient elastography
In our country the prevalence of HIV-HBV co-infection in young infected patients, between 1985-1990, transmitted through nosocomial or vertical path is approximately 40%. We followed the prevalence and risk factors associated with liver damage in HIV+HBV infected patients. Longitudinal evaluation of liver fibrosis was carried out in the patients included in the study group, by transient elastog...
متن کاملAcoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) and Transient Elastography (TE) for evaluation of liver fibrosis in HIV-HCV co-infected patients
BACKGROUND Transient elastography (TE) is widely used for non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in HIV-HCV co-infected patients. TE, however, cannot determine liver morphology. Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is a novel procedure enabling assessment of liver fibrosis during a conventional ultrasonographic examination. This study evaluated the correlation between liver fibros...
متن کاملTransient Elastography for the Detection of Liver Damage in Patients with HIV
INTRODUCTION Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is effective and well tolerated, but hepatotoxicity is relatively common. Different non-invasive methods are available for detecting liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. METHODS Patients who were HIV positive and who had given their informed consent were included in this cross-sectional study. Transient elastography [...
متن کاملRelationship between Cerebral Microbleeds and Liver Stiffness Determined by Transient Elastography
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver fibrosis is a multifactorial disease that can affect the development of cerebral small vessel diseases (SVDs) including cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), leukoaraiosis, and silent infarctions. Transient elastography can accurately assess the degree of liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness (LS). In the present study, we investigated the association between SVDs and LS va...
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...
