Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis
Liver fibrosis is the final common pathway of most chronic liver diseases of various etiologies.The development of fibrosis determines the management policy as well as the prognosis. In recent years it became clear that the fibrotic process is reversible. Therefore early detection of liver fibrosis is critical. At present, liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for the detection of fibros...
متن کاملNon-invasive parameters in the assessment of liver fibrosis
Liver biopsy and histopathological evaluation are the main methods to assess liver pathology. However, liver biopsy is not widely used due to implementation challenge. We aimed to investigate non-invasive parameters for evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic Hepatitis B patients. A total of 65 patients who admitted to outpatient clinic and diagnosed as chronic hepatitis were included in this s...
متن کاملNon-invasive Assessment of Liver Fibrosis Using Serum Markers
Fibrosis is an intrinsic response to chronic injury, that elicits excess deposition of matrix compounds and scarring, which ultimately alters liver structure and function. Liver biopsy has long been the gold standard for assessing the degree of liver fibrosis. Due to liver biopsy invasiveness, specialists and patients favor alternative non-invasive tests for fibrosis staging. In recent years, m...
متن کاملEvolving strategies for liver fibrosis staging: Non-invasive assessment
Transient elastography and the acoustic radiation force impulse techniques may play a pivotal role in the study of liver fibrosis. Some studies have shown that elastography can detect both the progression and regression of fibrosis. Similarly, research results have been analysed and direct and indirect serum markers of hepatic fibrosis have shown high diagnostic accuracy for advanced fibrosis/c...
متن کاملUsefulness of Non-invasive Markers for Predicting Significant Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
The purpose of this prospective study was to verify and compare the strengths of various blood markers and fibrosis models in predicting significant liver fibrosis. One hundred fifty-eight patients with chronic liver disease who underwent liver biopsy were enrolled. The mean age was 41 yr and male patients accounted for 70.2%. The common causes of liver disease were hepatitis B (67.7%) and C (1...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in Western countries, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. It currently affects approximately 30% of adults and 10% of children and adolescents. The resulting increase in the number of patients with NAFLD is expected to translate into increased numbers of patients with liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular c...
