The Role of Liver Biopsy in the Non-Invasive Methods Era and Liver Stiffness Measurement Using Transient Elastography
Liver biopsy is still the most accurate tool to assess liver histopathology in chronic liver disease (CLD), especially in patients with chronic active hepatitis who need a treatment decision. Nowadays, there are many non-invasive methods are being used to assess liver fibrosis and might replace liver biopsy. One of the new methods is transient elastography (TE/Fibroscan) which has been widely u...
متن کاملQuantitative comparison of transient elastography (TE), shear wave elastography (SWE) and liver biopsy results of patients with chronic liver disease
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to carry out a comparitive analysis of hepatic fibrosis results of the liver hardness of patients with chronic liver disease as measured by elastography (TE), shear wave elastography (SWE), and liver biopsy. [Subjects and Methods] This study was a retrospective analysis of 304 patients who underwent SWE and TE before and after liver biopsy, taken from amo...
متن کاملThe Association between Liver Fibrosis Measurement by Transient Elastography and Liver Biopsy in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
Background: Transient Elastography (TE) is a noninvasive, reproducible tool to assess liver stiffness. Previous systemic review showed that liver stiffness measured by TE has high accuracy to detect histological liver fibrosis. However, few studies are looking at this relationship in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We aimed to assess the correlation between liver stiffness and liver fi...
متن کاملFibroscan (transient elastography) for the measurement of liver fibrosis.
NHA The Fibroscan device (Echosens) works by measuring shear wave velocity. In this technique, a 50-MHz wave is passed into the liver from a small transducer on the end of an ultrasound probe (Figure 1). The probe also has a transducer on the end that can measure the velocity of the shear wave (in meters per second) as this wave passes through the liver. The shear wave velocity can then be conv...
متن کاملInfluencing factors of transient elastography in detecting liver stiffness.
Liver stiffness, which correlates well with liver fibrosis stage, can be measured noninvasively by transient elastography, also known as Fibroscan. The present study aimed to determine the independent factors influencing Fibroscan detection by multiple regression analysis. A total of 181 patients who required liver biopsy were enrolled. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was detected by Fibrosca...
