Liver Hemangioma Might Lead to overestimation of Liver Fibrosis by Fibroscan; A Missed Issue in Two Cases
BACKGROUND The assessment of liver fibrosis is an important way for prediction of liver disease progression and patient's prognosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is strongly associated with stage of liver diseases. overestimation of liver fibrosis in heart failure has been reported. We would like to introduce a new leading cause of liver fibrosis overestimation by presentation of two cases...
متن کاملFibroscan (transient elastography) for the measurement of liver fibrosis.
NHA The Fibroscan device (Echosens) works by measuring shear wave velocity. In this technique, a 50-MHz wave is passed into the liver from a small transducer on the end of an ultrasound probe (Figure 1). The probe also has a transducer on the end that can measure the velocity of the shear wave (in meters per second) as this wave passes through the liver. The shear wave velocity can then be conv...
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...
متن کاملPrediction of Liver-Related Events Using Fibroscan in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Showing Advanced Liver Fibrosis
BACKGROUND Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography (FibroScan®) can assess liver fibrosis noninvasively. This study investigated whether LSM can predict the development of liver-related events (LREs) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients showing histologically advanced liver fibrosis. METHODS Between March 2006 and April 2010, 128 CHB patients with who underwent LSM and...
متن کاملFibroscan for assessing liver fibrosis: An acceptable alternative for liver biopsy
There is now adequate evidence to indicate that liver fibrosis is a dynamic rather than a static process and as effective antiviral and other specific therapies became available, fibrosis and even cirrhosis could become reversible (1, 2). Effective and early therapy of viral and autoimmune hepatitis could result in reversibility of cirrhosis in addition to clinical cure (1-3). Therefore, we urg...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
