Noninvasive Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C
Only 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) progress to cirrhosis (1). Progressive fibrosis is the hallmark of an unfavorable course and is related to several factors such as male gender, contracting the disease at an older age, features of the metabolic syndrome, iron overload, ethanol abuse, and co-infection with hepatitis B or human acquired immunodeficiency viruses. However, the cou...
متن کاملDetermining the progression stages of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
Introduction: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to liver fibrosis, its failure, and death in the long term. The stage of fibrosis in CHB patients can also be detected based on the biochemical markers. The aim of this study was to predict the state of liver fibrosis in CHB patients and determine the possibility of patients shifting from a given state to another one. Materials and Methods: This stu...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis by measurement of stiffness in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Liver fibrosis is the main predictor of the progression of chronic hepatitis C, and its assessment by liver biopsy (LB) can help determine therapy. However, biopsy is an invasive procedure with several limitations. A new, noninvasive medical device based on transient elastography has been designed to measure liver stiffness. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of liver stiffness me...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of noninvasive liver fibrosis tests for treatment decisions in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
UNLABELLED The cost-effectiveness of noninvasive tests (NITs) as alternatives to liver biopsy is unknown. We compared the cost-effectiveness of using NITs to inform treatment decisions in adult patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to calculate the diagnostic accuracy of various NITs using a bivariate random-effects model. We constructed a p...
متن کامل[Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C].
Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a major public health concern, with around 180 million individuals affected worldwide. Liver fibrosis and its end-point cirrhosis are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with CHC. Liver biopsy (LB) has traditionally been considered the "gold standard" for pre-treatment evaluation of liver fibrossis in patients with CHC. However, LB is an invasive ...
