Defining Normal Liver Stiffness Range in a Normal Healthy Chinese Population without Liver Disease
BACKGROUND For patients with chronic liver disease, different optimal liver stiffness cut-off values correspond to different stages of fibrosis, which are specific for the underlying liver disease and population. AIMS To establish the normal ranges of liver stiffness in the healthy Chinese population without underlying liver disease. METHODS This is a prospective cross sectional study of 2,...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance elastography of liver in healthy Asians: normal liver stiffness quantification and reproducibility assessment.
PURPOSE To determine normal liver stiffness values evaluated with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in healthy normal Asian volunteers and assess its reproducibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Liver stiffness was evaluated with MRE in 41 healthy Asians (23 females, 18 males; mean age, 41.8 years, and mean body mass index [BMI], 23.4 kg/m(2) ) on a 1.5T clinical scanner. The correlations betwe...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity of Eclipta alba L. in Normal Rat Liver
The present study investigates the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts Eclipta alba L. Hassk (EAEA) which was widely used as hepatoprotective plant. EAEA was orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 7 days in male Charles Foster rats. The extent of hepatoprotective potential of E . alba was studied by assessing the biochemical para...
متن کاملHypervascular Liver Lesions in Radiologically Normal Liver
Background: The hypervascular liver lesions represent a diagnostic challenge. Aim: To identify risk factors for cancer in patients with non-hemangiomatous hypervascular hepatic lesions in radiologically normal liver. Method: This prospective study included patients with hypervascular liver lesions in radiologically normal liver. The diagnosis was made by biopsy or was presumed on the basis ...
متن کاملWeight gain within the normal weight range predicts ultrasonographically detected fatty liver in healthy Korean men.
OBJECTIVES We performed a prospective study to determine whether weight gain predicts future ultrasonographically detected fatty liver (USFL) in a lean adult population. METHODS Among 15,347 Korean male workers, aged 30-59 years, who participated in a health check-up programme in 2002, a USFL-free cohort of 4246 non-diabetic men was followed until September 2007. Alcohol consumption was asses...
