Assessment of hepatic fibrosis by transient elastography in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving methotrexate
Background and Aim: Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used in the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but, its hepatotoxicity potential, always has been a major concern. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (TE) method and its relationship with cumulative dose of MTX and duration of treatment, in rheumatoid arthritis patient...
متن کاملAssessment of transient elastography (FibroScan) for diagnosis of fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Transient elastography (TE) is a new modality for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis caused by various etiologies. This study was conducted to determine the accuracy of TE in detecting the different stages of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. Methods: MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, American College of Physicians (ACP) Journal Club...
متن کاملRelationship of Liver Stiffness and Controlled Attenuation Parameter Measured by Transient Elastography with Diabetes Mellitus in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
High prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with liver cirrhosis has been reported in many studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis assessed by transient elastography with diabetes in patients with chronic liver disease. The study population consisted of 979 chronic liver disease patients. Liver fibrosis and steatosis were assessed by...
متن کاملRelationship between 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Liver Fibrosis as Assessed by Transient Elastography in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
BACKGROUND/AIMS Deficiencies of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) are prevalent in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Liver fibrosis is the main determinant of CLD prognosis. The present study was performed to evaluate the correlation between 25(OH)D levels and liver fibrosis as assessed by transient elastography (TE) in patients with compensated CLD. METHODS Serum 25(OH)D levels and live...
متن کاملAssociation of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Dis-ease and Diabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a common chronic complication of diabetes and one of the leading causes of acquired blindness in the world. There is growing evidence that traditional risk factors do not fully justify the onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, some other risk factors such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be involved in the pathophysiology of diabe...
