Assessment 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 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 کاملEvaluation of liver fibrosis by transient elastography in methotrexate treated patients.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Methotrexate (MTX) safety is questioned by the risk of inducing liver fibrosis (LF). As transient elastography (FibroScan®) is an effective non-invasive technique to evaluate LF, our aims were to assess LF in MTX-treated patients, to evaluate LF regarding treatment duration and cumulative dose, and to determine differences depending on the underlying disease. PATIENTS AND ...
متن کاملFibroScan® and transient elastography.
The use of non-invasive tests to stage the severity of liver disease (ie. scarring) is now well established in the management of patients with chronic liver disease. This is because assessment of liver scarring provides prognostic information and assists in establishing treatment priorities. One such technique, transient elastography (TE), is a simple, safe and efficient way to estimate liver s...
متن کاملfibrosis evaluation by transient elastography in patients with long-term sustained hcv clearance
background reversibility of advanced fibrosis after hcv-clearance is an important goal of therapy. objectives measuring liver stiffness (ls) by transient elastography (te) might be helpful in this setting. patients and methods we evaluated 104 patients with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis c (chc) and sustained virological response (svr) after peg-interferon (ifn) plus ribavirin since at least 1...
