Conclusions: Endoglin, IL‐8, and MMP‐7 significantly correlate with increased LSM in
children with BA, whereas CTGF inversely correlates with LSM in participants with A1AT; …

Elastographic measurement of liver stiffness is of growing importance in the assessment of
liver disease. Pediatric experiences with this technique are primarily single center and …

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

Abstract Background & Aims Although transient elastography (TE) is used to determine liver
stiffness as a surrogate to hepatic fibrosis, the normal range in children is not well defined …

Background and Aims Pediatric use of liver transient elastography (TE) is attractive for its
non-invasiveness, but reference values have not been established. We aimed to determine …

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 …

The liver stiffness measure (LSM) needs to be explored in ethnically and anthropometrically
diverse healthy subjects (to derive an acceptable normal range) and also in patients with …

Introduction and objectives Surrogate biomarkers of liver fibrosis developed in tertiary care
are increasingly used in general populations. We evaluated the association between liver …

Objectives: Noninvasive tests for the evaluation of liver fibrosis are particularly helpful in
children to avoid general anesthesia and potential complications of invasive tests. We aimed …
