Liver stiffness, a non-invasive marker of liver disease: a core study group report.
The ability to evaluate liver stiffness non-invasively in clinical practice by measuring transient elastography using FibroScan(®) has resulted in considerable interest and enthusiasm. A core study group, organized by the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver, has assessed the usefulness of FibroScan(®) in the diagnosis and management of liver disease in clinical practice.

متن کاملFibroTest-ActiTest as a non-invasive marker of liver fibrosis.
FibroTest (FT) is a biomarker of liver fibrosis initially validated in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and subsequently assessed in other frequent liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis B (CHB), alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The primary aim of the present study was to update a previous meta-analysis of FT diagnostic value, and to summa...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of resveratrol on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease A systematic review study
Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition in which triglycerides accumulate in liver cells without a history of alcohol consumption. Evidence has shown that auxiliary treatments, including the use of antioxidant compounds, can be effective in improving nonalcoholic fatty liver. Resveratrol is an antioxidant compound that has been shown to be beneficial in some disea...
متن کاملTotal Hepatitis B Core Antigen Antibody, a Quantitative Non-Invasive Marker of Hepatitis B Virus Induced Liver Disease
Non invasive immunologic markers of virus-induced liver disease are unmet needs. We tested the clinical significance of quantitative total and IgM-anti-HBc in well characterized chronic-HBsAg-carriers. Sera (212) were obtained from 111 HBsAg-carriers followed-up for 52 months (28-216) during different phases of chronic-HBV-genotype-D-infection: 10 HBeAg-positive, 25 inactive-carriers (HBV-DNA≤2...
