Abstract:Background: There is limited evidence focusing on the use of non-invasive markers to assess liver fibrosis in pediatric chronic liver diseases. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient liver elastography (TLE) and serum non-invasive markers in pediatric autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Methods: Cross-sectional study between May 2016 and February 2020. Twenty-eight children with AIH (age range between 3 and 20 years old) who had under… Show more
