“…Other factors that may influence the test results are sex (men have higher liver stiffness values than women), metabolic syndrome and operator experience [116]. It is not clear whether hepatic steatosis has an effect on accuracy [117][118][119].…”

“…Furthermore this technique is observer and operatordependent, and its use in obese patients is subject of discussion (42,43). Transient elastography, based on the assessment of liver stiffness, has also been shown to be useful in the evaluation of a significant fibrosis and cirrhosis (44)(45)(46). These approaches are however not universally accessible, and are mainly meant to detect fibrosis, an advanced stage of the disease.…”

Summary:The rapidly increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and its associated co-morbidities such as hypertriglyceridemia, hyper-insulinemia, hypertension, early atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are major public health concerns in many countries. Therefore the trends in child and adolescent obesity should be closely monitored over time, as in the near future, we may anticipate a major increase of young adults with the stigmata of the metabolic syndrome, and of the related non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), that may lead to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
