Liver stiffness by transient elastography predicts liver-related complications and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease.

Liver stiffness by transient elastography predicts liver-related complications and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease.

Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) is a validated method for noninvasively staging liver fibrosis. Most hepatic complications occur in patients with advanced fibrosis. Our objective was to determine the ability of LSM by TE to predict hepatic complications an...
