The clinical utility of the splenic arterial pulsatility index (SAPI), a duplex Doppler
ultrasonographic index, to predict the stage of hepatic fibrosis in hemodialysis patients with …

Background & Aims: The value of Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate the severity of
hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) remains controversial. Methods …

Objective: To find the diagnostic accuracy of splenic artery pulsatility index in predicting
fibrosis associated with chronic hepatitis C. Study Design: Cross-sectional validation study …

Background The accurate assessment of liver fibrosis among hemodialysis patients with
chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is important for both treatment and for follow up strategies …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the performance of aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio
index (APRI) and Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) in chronic kidney disease stage 5D HCV-infected …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The hepatic vein pressure gradient (HVPG) is the standard used to
determine the degree of portal hypertension (PH) and an important prognostic factor for …

Objectives The aim of our study was to examine the efficiency of transient elastography (TE)
and Doppler indices, namely hepatic vein damping index (DI) and splenic artery pulsatility …

The purpose of the present study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the splenic
arterial resistive index (SARI) with that of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for identifying …

Background There are many laboratory indices to assess liver fibrosis. Aspartate
aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index have been used …

Background Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for assessing
the presence and the severity of portal hypertension (PHT). Liver stiffness measurement …
