Biopsy-controlled liver fibrosis staging using the enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) score compared to transient elastography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic liver diseases are characterized by inflammatory and fibrotic liver injuries that often result in liver cirrhosis with its associated complications such as portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Laser induced surface acoustic wave combined with phase sensitive optical coherence tomography for superficial tissue characterization:a solution for practical application [PDF]

, 2014
Mechanical properties are important parameters that can be used to assess the physiologic conditions of biologic tissue. Measurements and mapping of tissue mechanical properties can aid in the diagnosis, characterisation and treatment of diseases.

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, this approach has not yet been tested in liver transplantation (LT) recipients.

Liver stiffness in chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Introduction. The severity of liver fibrosis can be assessed noninvasively today by liver stiffness measurements. Vibration-controlled transient elastography, shear wave elastography or magnetic resonance elastography are techniques increasingly used for

Microfibrillar-Associated Protein 4: A Potential Biomarker for Screening for Liver Fibrosis in a Mixed Patient Cohort. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A method for assessment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis without the need for a liver biopsy is desirable. Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is a suggested biomarker for identification of high-risk patients with severe fibrosis stages.

Liver Disease Assessment in Children with Fontan and Glenn Surgeries for Univentricular Hearts—The Role of Elastography and Biochemical Fibrosis Markers

Applied Sciences, 2022
Background: Children born with single-ventricle hearts require surgery in order to survive. Liver fibrosis is a known complication of Fontan surgery for univentricular hearts.

CORRELATION OF TRANSIENT ELASTOGRAPHY WITH LIVER IRON CONCENTRATION, AND SERUM FERRITIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH TRANSFUSION-DEPENDENT THALASSEMIA MAJOR PATIENTS FROM OMAN

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Aims: In a cross-sectional study we aimed to assess the correlation between ultrasound transient elastography (TE), serum ferritin (SF), liver iron content (LIC) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2* along with the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score as a ...

Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers

, 2012
Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART ...

Association of Hepatic Fibrosis Measured by Transient Elastography with Ferritin Level of Patients with Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia in Iraq [PDF]

Al-Anbar Medical Journal
Background: Regular transfusions in thalassemia major lead to iron buildup, especially in the liver, causing oxidative damage and fibrosis. While liver biopsy remains the gold standard, transient elastography offers a reliable, non-invasive alternative ...
