Non-Invasive Evaluation of Cystic Fibrosis Related Liver Disease in Adults with ARFI, Transient Elastography and Different Fibrosis Scores
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease (CFLD) is present in up to 30% of cystic fibrosis patients and can result in progressive liver failure. Diagnosis of CFLD is challenging. Non-invasive methods for staging of liver fibrosis display an interesting diagnostic approach for CFLD detection. AIM We evaluated transient elastography (TE), acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI),...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis using ARFI with pathological correlation, a prospective study.
INTRODUCTION ARFI is a new technique that uses acoustic push pulse to generate tissue displacement resulting in shear wave propagation, can be used to measure elasticity of tissue. We aim to assess feasibility of ARFI as a non-invasive method to measure liver fibrosis compared to histological fibrosis scores and to compare our results with the published pooled-meta-analysis cut off values. MA...
متن کاملAcoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)--a new modality for the evaluation of liver fibrosis.
AIM to assess the accuracy of transient elastography (TE) and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) for liver fibrosis assessment, as compared to percutaneous liver biopsy (LB) in patients with chronic hepatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our study included 71 patients (P) (54 with HCV and 17 with HBV chronic hepatitis) in which we compared TE and ARFI to the LB (evaluated according to the Metav...
متن کامل[Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C].
Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a major public health concern, with around 180 million individuals affected worldwide. Liver fibrosis and its end-point cirrhosis are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with CHC. Liver biopsy (LB) has traditionally been considered the "gold standard" for pre-treatment evaluation of liver fibrossis in patients with CHC. However, LB is an invasive ...
متن کاملSimple and Non-invasive Liver Fibrosis Stage Prediction Method
Evaluation of stage of liver fibrosis in chronic type C hepatitis is very important in patient therapy. Commonly used method for fibrosis stage determination is liver biopsy, but it is an invasive method and also single biopsy does not give the confidence thus it is required to retrieve samples from more than one region of liver [1]. Some non-invasive tests methods are also available, but are e...
