Real-Time Elastography and Its Clinical Application Compared With Other Methods for Evaluation of the Liver Fibrosis Degree in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C
Abstract:In this work we investigated to which extent the evaluation results of the degree of hepatic fibrosis obtained by realtime elastography (RTE) method are compatible with the results of the transient elastography (TE) and with the APRI indexes. We also analyzed the factors which can influence the reliability of the fibrosis degree evaluation obtained by different methods.Materials and methods. The study included 99 patients (60 women and 39 men) with HCV, examined in the polyclinic department of the Saint-Peters… Show more
