Prospective Comparison of Transient Elastography, Fibrotest, APRI, and Liver Biopsy for the Assessment of Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis C

TL;DR: FibroScan is a simple and effective method for assessing liver fibrosis, with similar performance to FibroTest and APRI, and could avoid a biopsy procedure in most patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus infection in 2015: a modelling study

Sarah Blach, +221 more
TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis by measurement of stiffness in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: Noninvasive assessment of liver stiffness with transient elastography appears as a reliable tool to detect significant fibrosis or cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of fibrosis and cirrhosis using liver stiffness measurement in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: Transient elastography is accurate in most NAFLD patients and is useful as a screening test to exclude advanced fibrosis, and liver biopsy may be considered in patients with liver stiffness of at least 7.9 kPa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pitfalls of liver stiffness measurement: a 5-year prospective study of 13,369 examinations.

TL;DR: In the authors' experience, liver stiffness measurements are uninterpretable in nearly one in five cases, the principal reasons are obesity, particularly increased waist circumference, and limited operator experience.
