Journal Article

Performance of a new elastographic method (ARFI technology) compared to unidimensional transient elastography in the noninvasive assessment of chronic hepatitis C. Preliminary results.

Monica Lupsor, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: ARFI allows SWV quantification, in strong correlation with the fibrosis stage, and the diagnostic accuracy is strongly comparable to TE only for the prediction of severe fibrosis and cirrhosis, whereas for earlier stages, TE performs better.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive tools and risk of clinically significant portal hypertension and varices in compensated cirrhosis: The "Anticipate" study.

Juan G. Abraldes, +9 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: A significant proportion of patients with a very high risk of CSPH, and a population with avery low risk of VNT can be identified with simple, noninvasive tests, suggesting that these can be used to individualize medical care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding the Baveno VI criteria for the screening of varices in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease.

Salvador Augustin, +14 more
- 01 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: The Expanded‐Baveno VI criteria performed well in patients with cACLD with hepatitis C virus and alcoholic and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and would potentially spare more endoscopies than the original criteria with a minimal risk of missing VNT in most of the main etiologies of cAC LD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spleen stiffness measurement using fibroscan for the noninvasive assessment of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients

Horia Stefanescu, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: Whether spleen stiffness measured by transient elastography varies as liver disease progresses and whether this would be a suitable method for the noninvasive evaluation of the presence of esophageal varices is investigated.
Journal Article

Analysis of histopathological changes that influence liver stiffness in chronic hepatitis C. Results from a cohort of 324 patients.

Monica Lupsor, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: Transient elastography is a useful method for chronic hepatitis C assessment, and fibrosis is the main predictor of liver stiffness, but activity and steatosis also influence liver stiffness.
