Liver Fibrosis Assessment

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2021
Early diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis (HF) is pivotal for management to cease progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HF is the telltale sign of chronic liver disease, and confirmed by liver biopsy, which is an invasive technique and inclined to sampling errors.

Liver fibrosis quantification

Abdominal Radiology, 2022
Liver fibrosis (LF) is the wound healing response to chronic liver injury. LF is the endpoint of chronic liver disease (CLD) regardless of etiology and the single most important determinant of long-term liver-related clinical outcomes. Quantification of LF is important for staging, to evaluate response to treatment and to predict outcomes.

Liver fibrosis

Biochemical Journal, 2008
Liver damage leads to an inflammatory response and to the activation and proliferation of mesenchymal cell populations within the liver which remodel the extracellular matrix as part of an orchestrated wound-healing response. Chronic damage results in a progressive accumulation of scarring proteins (fibrosis) that, with increasing severity, alters ...

Liver Fibrosis Determination

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2019
All chronic liver disease can lead to liver fibrosis. Assessment of the severity of liver fibrosis is central to making treatment and management decisions. Liver biopsy, the gold standard for liver fibrosis assessment, is invasive and carries risks of complications and sampling errors.

Liver fibrosis

Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1999
Knowledge on the development and progression of liver fibrosis has grown exponentially in the past decade. At present, liver fibrogenesis is referred to as a dynamic process involving complex cellular and molecular mechanisms, resulting from the chronic activation of the tissue repair mechanisms that follows reiterated liver tissue injury.

Assessing liver fibrosis

Expert Review of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2008
Prognosis and management of chronic liver diseases greatly depend on the amount and progression of liver fibrosis. Although liver biopsy is still considered as the gold standard to evaluate fibrosis in the liver, it is an invasive procedure, with rare but potentially life-threatening complications, and is prone to sampling errors.

Pathogenesis of Liver Fibrosis

Clinical Science, 1997
1. Liver fibrosis is a common sequel to diverse liver injuries. It is characterized by an accumulation of interstitial collagens and other matrix components. The hepatic stellate cell is pivotal to the pathogenic process. Fibrotic liver injury results in activation of the hepatic stellate cell which undergoes a phenotypic change to a proliferative ...

Regression of Liver Fibrosis

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2017
Liver fibrosis is the final common pathway of chronic or iterative liver damage. Advanced chronic fibrosis is described as cirrhosis with a loss of architecture and attendant functional failure and the development of life-threatening complications. However, compelling evidence from rodent models and human studies indicates that if the injury is removed

Epigenetics in Liver Fibrosis

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2017
AbstractLiver fibrosis is a common consequence of chronic liver injury and is a key determinant of liver-associated morbidity and mortality. Identification of new mechanisms of fibrosis, including disease-specific molecular drivers, remains relevant to reveal novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
