Given that little is known about the prevalence of, and factors associated with, liver fibrosis in
the general population, we aimed to investigate this in a large, well‐characterized cohort by …

Portal hypertension is a major pathophysiology in patients with cirrhosis. Portal pressure is
the gold standard to evaluate the severity of portal hypertension, and radiological …

In nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the influence of severity of steatosis on liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) is poorly studied and still debated. We assessed the impact of steatosis …

Purpose To evaluate the accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for staging liver
fibrosis in patients with diffuse liver disease (including patients with hepatitis C virus [HCV]) …

Abstract Background & Aims Transient elastography (TE) can non‐invasively diagnose
cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT). New TE reliability criteria suggest classifying …

Introduction: New advances in liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may enable
diagnosis of unseen pathologies by conventional techniques. Normal T1 (550–620 ms for …

Background Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography is a noninvasive
method for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis. The impact of hepatic steatosis on LSM remains …

Background & Aims In Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC), the influence of steatosis on liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) is still debated. We assessed the impact of steatosis and its …

Background Liver stiffness evaluation (LSE) by Fibroscan is now widely used to assess liver
fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C. Liver steatosis is a common lesion in chronic hepatitis C as in …

Aim Fatty liver is the most common liver disease. This study examined fatty liver and
advanced fibrosis prevalence in a random sample of the Japanese general population …
