Background & Aims Alcohol abuse causes half of all deaths from cirrhosis in the West, but
few tools are available for noninvasive diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. We evaluated 2 …

Key clinical challenges in chronic alcoholic liver disease (ALD) includes late symptom debut
at an advanced stage of disease, low overall risk of ALD (2–4% of patients with an alcohol …

BACKGROUND: Fibroscan (FS) has proved invaluable in the non invasive assessment of
liver fibrosis in various chronic liver diseases. Surprisingly, no clear consensus with regard …

Background The value of transient elastography for the non-invasive diagnosis of alcohol-
related liver fibrosis is subject to debate. We did an individual patient data (IPD) meta …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) for the diagnosis of extensive fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with …

In alcoholic liver disease (ALD), transient elastography (TE) has been demonstrated to have
an excellent performance to detect advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. It correlates well with …

Unidimensional transient elastography (TE) is a noninvasive technique, which has been
increasingly used in the assessment of diffuse liver diseases. This paper focuses on …

Background/Goals Consensus is lacking whether cut-off values for different fibrosis stages
using transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) are universally applicable to all liver diseases …

Non-invasive tests have been developed to determine the severity of liver disease in
patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). We aimed to assess the severity of liver steatosis …
