CORRELATION OF TRANSIENT ELASTOGRAPHY WITH LIVER IRON CONCENTRATION, AND SERUM FERRITIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH TRANSFUSION-DEPENDENT THALASSEMIA MAJOR PATIENTS FROM OMAN
Aims: In a cross-sectional study we aimed to assess the correlation between ultrasound transient elastography (TE), serum ferritin (SF), liver iron content (LIC) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2* along with the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score as a screening tool to detect significant liver fibrosis...
