Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) elastography
in staging liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and other etiologic causes …

OBJECTIVE. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of transient elastography for
evaluating liver fibrosis in children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A …

Noninvasive methods are increasingly used for the assessment of liver fibrosis. Two
categories of markers include serum-based markers (biologic properties) or ultrasound and …

Background: Long‐term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) may induce liver disorders.
Transient elastography (TE) has been proposed as a noninvasive alternative to liver biopsy …

Liver stiffness is now a well-established noninvasive biomarker for assessing fibrosis in
chronic liver disease. MRI-based and ultrasound-based dynamic elastography techniques …

AIM To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of FibroScan (FS) in detecting esophageal
varices (EV) in cirrhotic patients. METHODS Through a systemic literature search of multiple …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of
transient elastography, real-time strain elastography, and aspartate-to-platelet ratio index in …

Results: Fifty-seven studies were included in the meta-analysis with a total of 10,504
patients. The pooled estimate for the sensitivity of transient elastography for detecting liver …

Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a leading cause of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. The level of
fibrosis is traditionally established by histology, and prognosis is estimated using fibrosis …

Portal hypertension (PH) is a spectrum of complications of chronic liver disease (CLD) and
cirrhosis, with manifestations including ascites, gastroesophageal varices, splenomegaly …
