Inflammatory activity affects the accuracy of liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography but not by two-dimensional shear wave elastography in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND In patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the impact of the severity of steatosis and inflammatory activity on the accuracy of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) and by two-dimensional shear ...

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Performance of two-dimensional shear wave elastography and transient elastography compared to liver biopsy for staging of liver fibrosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Staging of liver fibrosis traditionally relied on liver histology, however transient elastography (TE) and more recently two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) evolved to non-invasive alternatives.

Serum proteome profiling identifies novel and powerful markers of cystic fibrosis liver disease. [PDF]
Cystic Fibrosis associated liver disease (CFLD) develops in approximately 30% of CF patients. However, routine sensitive diagnostic tools for CFLD are lacking. Within this study, we aimed to identify new experimental biomarkers for the detection of CFLD.

Comparison of ELF, FibroTest and FibroScan for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis [PDF]
Background: FibroTest (FT) is the most frequently used serum fibrosis marker and consists of an algorithm of five fibrosis markers (alfa2-macroglobulin, apolipoproteinA1, haptoglobin, GGT, bilirubin). The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test consists of an

Determinants of advanced liver fibrosis in adult patients after Fontan-palliation: Usefulness of ultrasound transient elastography. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Fontan-associated liver disease is an increasing concern. Our aim was to assess prevalence and predictors of advanced liver fibrosis with a specific focus on utility of liver stiffness measurement by ultrasound transient elastography ...

Impact of Breath Holding on Spleen Stiffness Measured by 100 Hz Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Backgrounds and Aims Ultrasound‐based spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) is a valid non‐invasive tool to assess portal hypertension (PH) in chronic liver disease. Whereas the role of the respiratory phase during liver stiffness measurements is established, no study has specifically addressed how respiration influences SSM by transient ...
