Background and Aim: Liver biopsy is the gold standard for determining acceptability of donors when CTLAI between -5 to +5. However, it invasive involves sampling only a small portion liver. CT does not reliably detect fibrosis, iron overload could lead erroneous selection donors. We propose that MRI- PDFF with elastography overcome these deficiencies. also wanted determine cut off value fat on ...

BACKGROUND We aimed at evaluating liver biopsy and FibroScan (FS) to assess early histopathological changes among chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients not candidates for treatment. METHODS One hundred thirty-five chronic hepatitis B naive patients were followed up twice weekly at National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research Institute. All patients were not candidates for treatment a...

Transjugular liver biopsy was first reported in 1967. Since then, this technique has been broadly performed in many medical centers around the world. The number of its indications has increased, and by modifying the needles, the quality of the liver tissue sample has improved. The advantage of transjugular biopsy is that it can be performed in patients in whom the use of percutaneous biopsy is ...

BACKGROUND Although liver biopsy is an easy procedure for hospitalized patients and outpatients, some complications may occur. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficiency, complications, safety and clinicopathological utility of ultrasonographic-guided percutaneous liver biopsy in diffuse liver disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS In our retrospective study, we evaluated ultrasound-assisted needle biops...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common underlying causes of chronically elevated liver tests and liver disease in adults and children worldwide and may be strongly suspected if not diagnosed by ever evolving and available serologic and imaging-based noninvasive tests. However, the definitive diagnosis of the most progressive form of NAFLD, nonalcoholic steatohepatiti...

primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of liver is a very rare malignancy. here we report a case of primary hepatic burkitt’s lymphoma in a 34-year old man who was known case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and presented with weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever. positive laboratory findings were mild anemia and elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and alkaline phosphatase (alp)....

gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointesti- nal tract that originate from all areas of the gastrointestinal tract. metastases to the liver, peritoneum, bones, lungs and soft tissues have been reported. we present the case of a 47- year-old woman with rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor that underwent wide local excision. she was treated with imatinib for a ...

This is a case report on patient with biopsy-proven stage 2 hepatic fibrosis who routinely has had normal liver chemistries. important because chemistry tests are the standard physicians use to assess general health. There not an abundance of research patients advanced have chemistries, but that available all agree biopsy better way get clear picture disease state liver. Biopsies as easily acce...
