Nodules in the Cirrhotic Liver
Cirrhosis is a common liver disease that is becoming even more prevalent due to the rapid worldwide increase in the incidence of hepatitis C. One of the most important complications of cirrhosis is the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unlike many other malignancies, HCC has a low rate of metastasis when detected early, when it is well circumscribed and 5 cm or less. Additionally, ...
متن کاملDefining 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 کاملFocal Liver Lesions in the Non-Cirrhotic Liver
1. Hepatic Cyst Hepatic cysts are common benign lesions that occur in 2%-10% of the population. They may be solitary or multiple and range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Hepatic cysts are usually discovered incidentally and have no malignant potential. On MR imaging, they are well-defined, round or oval lesions with thin, almost imperceptible walls. Simple cysts are very...
متن کاملThe usefulness of non-invasive liver stiffness measurements in predicting clinically significant portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients: Korean data
BACKGROUND/AIMS Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has been proposed as a non-invasive method for estimating the severity of fibrosis and the complications of cirrhosis. Measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for assessing the presence of portal hypertension, but its invasiveness limits its clinical application. In this study we evaluated the relationship...
