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 کاملWide dynamic range MR elastography of liver
Introduction: The dynamics of the complex shear modulus of biological tissue is determined by rigidity and connectivity of cells. Thus, measuring the frequency dispersion of G* of an organ can provide a macroscopic parameter which is related to the mechanical microstructure and therewith to the state of health of tissue. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is capable of determining G* in vivo...
متن کاملHepatitis activity should be considered a confounder of liver stiffness measured with MR elastography.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of hepatitis activity on liver stiffness measurements and the role of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in liver fibrosis staging by MR elastography (MRE). MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured liver stiffness (kPa) in 135 patients by MRE and histologically assessed fibrosis and hepatitis activity within 2 months. Stepwise multiple linear regression was performed...
متن کاملTransient Elastography-Based Liver Stiffness Age-Dependently Increases in Children
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pediatric use of liver transient elastography (TE) is attractive for its non-invasiveness, but reference values have not been established. We aimed to determine reference values for TE in children. METHODS In pediatric patients (1 to 18 years), TE (FibroScan®) with an M probe was used for both liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and measurement of hepatic fat deposition by u...
متن کاملMR Elastography of Dynamic Postprandial Hepatic Stiffness Augmentation in Chronic Liver Disease
Introduction: Mesenteric blood flow increases markedly in response to the presence of food in the gut, with portal blood flow increasing up to 100% or more postprandially, compared with the fasting state (1). If the impedance to portal outflow remained constant, the increased flow would result in an increase in portal venous pressure. Yet, in normal humans, the portal venous pressure remains st...
