Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis by stiffness measurement in patients with chronic hepatitis B

TL;DR: Liver stiffness measurement using transient elastography using fibroScan®, Echosens™ has been shown to be correlated to liver fibrosis in various chronic liver diseases and this study aims to assess its diagnosis accuracy in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy of liver stiffness measurement for the diagnosis of cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver diseases.

TL;DR: Fibroscan is a reliable method for the diagnosis of Cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver diseases, better at excluding than at predicting cirrhosis using a threshold of 14.6 kPa, and false‐negatives are mainly attributable to inactive or macronodular cirrhoses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis by transient elastography in HIV/hepatitis C virus-coinfected patients.

TL;DR: Liver stiffness measurement is a promising noninvasive method for the assessment of fibrosis in HIV-infected patients with chronic HCV infection and its use for the follow-up of these patients should be further evaluated.
