Description
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography with use of FibroScan is one of the most accurate methods for staging liver fibrosis. LSM can be readily performed by an operator after a short training period. Transient elastography is a promising noninvasive alternative to liver biopsy for detecting hepatic fibrosis. LSM by transient elastography is the most popular method for detecting liver fibrosis stage in the world. Many other factors may also increase liver stiffness such as hepatic infiltration by hepatic inflammatory cells, increased venous pressure, mechanical cholestasis, and amyloidosis. Transient elastography appears to be a clinical useful test for detecting cirrhosis, in particular.
