349 Relation Between Non-Invasive Liver Fibrosis Tests and Cirrhosis Complications

Liver stiffness correlates with Child‐Pugh‐Turcotte and MELD scores in HIV/hepatitis C virus‐coinfected patients with cirrhosis

“…Therefore, LS can be considered a marker of liver function and it could also be a predictor of clinical outcome in these individuals. Our results in HIV/HCV coinfection are in agreement with previous data in cirrhotics (5,6). We evaluated a more homogeneous population than previous reports (5,6), comprising HIV-infected patients with cirrhosis because of HCV.…”

“…The median (interquartile range, IQR) LS was 26 (18-42) kPa. Two hundred and sixtyone (87%) patients were classified as CPT A, 35 (11.7%) as CPT B and four (1.3%) as CPT C. The median (IQR) CPT value was 5 (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The median (IQR) MELD value was 8 (6-10).…”
