Aim: to analyze the dynamics of fibrosis and steatosis liver according fibroelastometry in patients with chronic hep-atitis C (CHC) after ≥ 6 months from transient elastometry (TE) achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR) antiviral therapy. Materials methods. At baseline, prospective observational study included 628 CHC known stage (F) before AVT, some whom were phased out due non-complia...

Osteoarthritis is the commonest joint disease worldwide; in a relatively short period of time, it can result permanent loss working capacity and even to disability. Changes structure patients with osteoarthritis (OA) may depend on basic therapy they receive, control osteoarthritis. The purpose this work prove value elastometry assessing severity synovitis knee joints osteoarthritis, depending r...

Correspondence to: Ka-Man Chan Abstract: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogenous multi-system connective tissue disorder with considerable morbidity and mortality. Assessment of the extent of skin disease is an essential part in the diagnosis and monitoring of SSc. Newer methods such as high frequency dermal ultrasound, durometry and elastometry provide high accuracy for skin assessment and ...

Objective: to study the frequency and clinical manifestations of cryoglobulinemia in a population patients with chronic hepatitis C at different stages fibrosis. Materials methods: The source is 23492 HCV who are registered dispensary according Register Chelyabinsk region. studied was randomly formed - 100 verified HCV. As part ongoing single-stage study, standard general biochemical studies (b...

BACKGROUND Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastometry quantifies hepatic stiffness, and thus degree of fibrosis, non-invasively. Our aim was to analyse the diagnostic accuracy of ARFI cut-off values, and the significance of a defined limit of standard deviation (SD) as a potential quality parameter for liver fibrosis staging in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD).
