Prediction of liver-related events using fibroscan in chronic hepatitis B patients showing advanced liver fibrosis.

Prediction of liver-related events using fibroscan in chronic hepatitis B patients showing advanced liver fibrosis.

Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography (FibroScan®) can assess liver fibrosis noninvasively. This study investigated whether LSM can predict the development of liver-related events (LREs) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients showing histologically advanced liver fibrosis.Bet...
