Transient Elastography (FibroScan) Performs Better Than Non-Invasive Markers in Assessing Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Autoimmune Hepatitis Patients
BACKGROUND Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated chronic liver disease that can lead to severe fibrosis and cirrhosis. Transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) can assess the fibrotic stages of chronic liver diseases by liver stiffness measurement (LSM). Studies on the diagnostic accuracy of FibroScan for the detection of fibrosis in AIH patients are still limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS...
متن کاملPerformance of transient elastography in assessing liver fibrosis in patients with autoimmune hepatitis-primary biliary cholangitis overlap syndrome
AIM To investigate the performance of transient elastography (TE) for diagnosis of fibrosis in patients with autoimmune hepatitis-primary biliary cholangitis (AIH-PBC) overlap syndrome. METHODS A total of 70 patients with biopsy-proven AIH-PBC overlap syndrome were included. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the correlation of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and fibrosis stage. ...
متن کاملOn-treatment monitoring of liver fibrosis with transient elastography in chronic hepatitis B patients.
BACKGROUND The performance of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) to monitor the changes in the severity of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients on antiviral treatment is uncertain. METHODS We prospectively studied CHB patients undergoing paired liver biopsy and transient elastography before and at week 48 of antiviral treatment. Based on our previously reported LSM algorithm, a...
متن کاملimpact of immunosuppressive treatment on liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis
introduction and aims: impact of treatment on progression of fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis (aih) is unknown. we assessed the changes in liver fibrosis before and after treatment among these patients. materials and methods: nineteen aih patients who had paired liver biopsies were studied. of these, seven had been treated with 6 months of cyclosporine-a and the rest with 6 months of prednisolo...
متن کاملTransient Elastography with Serum Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Enhances Liver Fibrosis Detection
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore transient elastography (TE) with quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) for detecting advanced hepatic fibrosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a single-center prospective real-life analysis of 111 treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients enrolled into the Establishment of Non-invasive Diagnosis Criteria and Model of Hepatitis ...
