Liver fibrosis is a histological hallmark of most chronic liver diseases, which can progress to
cirrhosis and liver failure, and predisposes to hepatocellular carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis …

Objective. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to compare the diagnostic
performance of transient elastography (TE) and two‐dimensional shear wave elastography …

Background Although fibrosis is the main determinant of liver stiffness, other disease-related
factors usually disregarded in studies on liver elastography, such as inflammation and …

Abstract Background and Aims Cystic fibrosis (CF) may cause a spectrum of hepatobiliary
complications, including portal hypertension, multilobular cirrhosis, and liver failure. Current …

Progressive liver fibrosis may result in cirrhosis, portal hypertension and increased risk of
hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed a meta-analysis to compare liver fibrosis staging in …

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common among severely obese
patients. Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) has been validated as a …
