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.
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,Christophe Bureau,Horia Stefanescu,Salvador Augustin,Michael Ney,Hélène Blasco,Bogdan Procopet,Jaime Bosch,Joan Genescà,Annalisa Berzigotti +9 more
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,Mònica Pons,James Maurice,Christophe Bureau,Horia Stefanescu,Michel Ney,Hélène Blasco,Bogdan Procopet,Emmanuel Tsochatzis,R. Westbrook,Jaime Bosch,Annalisa Berzigotti,Juan G. Abraldes,Joan Genescà,Joan Genescà +14 more
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
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,Radu Badea,Horia Stefanescu,Mircea Grigorescu,Zeno Sparchez,A. Serban,Horatiu Branda,Sorana C. Iancu,Anca Maniu +8 more
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.
