Diagnosis of cirrhosis by transient elastography (FibroScan): a prospective study.
BACKGROUND Transient elastography (FibroScan) is a new, non-invasive, rapid, and reproducible method allowing evaluation of liver fibrosis by measurement of liver stiffness. In cirrhotic patients, liver stiffness measurements range from 12.5 to 75.5 kPa. However, the clinical relevance of these values is unknown. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the accuracy of liver stiffness ...
متن کاملBiopsy-Controlled Liver Fibrosis Staging Using the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Score Compared to Transient Elastography
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic liver diseases are characterized by inflammatory and fibrotic liver injuries that often result in liver cirrhosis with its associated complications such as portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver biopsy still represents the reference standard for fibrosis staging, although transient elastography is increasingly used for non-invasive monitoring of fibr...
متن کاملPerformance of transient elastography for the staging of liver fibrosis: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Transient elastography has been studied in a multitude of liver diseases for the staging of liver fibrosis with variable results. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the overall performance of transient elastography for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and to analyze factors influencing the diagnostic accuracy. METHODS Literature databases and international conference abs...
متن کاملUltrasonographic evaluation of liver surface and transient elastography in clinically doubtful cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Both transient elastography (TE) and left lobe liver surface (LLS) ultrasound may non-invasively detect cirrhosis (LC). We aimed to examine the diagnostic value of these methods in patients with a suspicion but not a definite diagnosis of cirrhosis. METHODS We enrolled 90 patients with clinical suspicion of cirrhosis and a strong co-existing differential diagnosis requiring ...
متن کاملUpdate of liver fibrosis and steatosis with transient elastography (Fibroscan)
BACKGROUND Assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis is now almost indispensable in most of the chronic liver diseases in order to determine prognosis and need for treatment, and to monitor disease progression and response to treatment. Liver biopsy is limited by its invasiveness and patient acceptability. Transient elastography (TE; Fibroscan) is a non-invasive tool with satisfactory accuracy...
