Higher liver stiffness in patients with chronic congestive heart failure: data from NHANES with liver ultrasound transient elastography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Liver stiffness in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CCHF) is poorly understood and liver ultrasound transient elastography (LUTE) a new non-invasive method to detect this condition. In cross-sectional study we explored secondary hepatopathy CCHF detected by LUTE.

Liver Stiffness by Transient Elastography Predicts Liver-Related Complications and Mortality in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
BACKGROUND Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) is a validated method for noninvasively staging liver fibrosis. Most hepatic complications occur in patients with advanced fibrosis. Our objective was to determine the ability of LSM by TE to predict hepatic complications and mortality in a large cohort of patients with chronic liver disease. METHODS In con...
متن کاملReproducibility of transient elastography in the evaluation of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.
OBJECTIVE Transient elastography (TE) is gaining popularity as a non-invasive method for predicting liver fibrosis, but intraobserver and interobserver agreement and factors influencing TE reproducibility have not been adequately assessed. This study investigated these aspects. SETTING Tertiary referral liver unit. PATIENTS Over a 4-month period, 200 patients with chronic liver disease (CLD...
متن کاملLiver function tests in chronic congestive heart failure.
It has been difficult for the clinician to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the degree of damage to the liver in the presence of congestive heart failure. This paper gives a statistical analysis of the results of various liver function tests on a group of patients with congestive heart failure. The analysis includes comparisons based on etiology, type of rhythm, duration of heart failu...
متن کاملLiver stiffness assessed by transient elastography in patients with β thalassaemia major.
RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY This cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted to investigate any difference in liver stiffness measurements (LSM), evaluated by transient elastography, between patients affected by β thalassaemia major, with and without hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and healthy blood donors (controls). Secondary aim was to assess any correlation between transient elastography...
