Objective To evaluate and compare the ability of serum hyaluronic acid (HA) and human
cartilage glycoprotein-39 (YKL-40) values, as well as transient elastography (TE) findings, to …

Background: Outcome of liver disease in children is mainly determined by severity and
progression of liver fibrosis. Liver biopsy is the accepted standard for evaluating fibrosis but …

AIM: To evaluate transient elastography (TE) as a noninvasive tool in staging liver fibrosis
compared with liver biopsy and morphometry in children with different chronic liver diseases …

Background This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography
(TE) and biopsy for the detection of liver fibrosis in children with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) …

Vibration controlled transient elastography (FibroScan) is used to predict the severity of liver
fibrosis and steatosis. In pediatrics, few studies have been performed directly comparing …

Aim Transient elastography (TE) is a rapid, non‐invasive, reproducible assessment of liver
fibrosis by liver stiffness measurement (LSM). Uncertainty remains regarding utility in …

Currently, liver histology is the gold standard for the detection of liver fibrosis. In recent
years, new methods such as transient elastography (TE) have been introduced into clinical …

Objective To derive an optimal liver stiffness measurement cut point to discriminate
METAVIR fibrosis stage F4 and to validate both METAVIR fibrosis stage F3-F4 and F4 cut …

Background: Elastography can be measured with different imaging techniques and is
increasingly used for noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis. Little is known about the …

Objectives: Transient elastography (TE) measures liver stiffness to assess fibrosis. Studies in
adults have shown that inflammation increases stiffness, leading to an overestimation of …
