Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Correlation Between Shear-wave Elastography and CT in Diffuse Liver Disease
The aim of this study is to correlate between quantitative results of shear wave elastography and CT picture in diffuse liver disease, including liver cirrhosis.
Many pathophysiological processes can lead to diffuse parenchymal liver diseases and the end-result of all chronic liver diseases is healing by fibrosis and regeneration. Liver fibrosis is a slowly progressing disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue ended with liver cirrhosis, with a variety of causes, including viral, drug induced, autoimmune, cholestatic, and metabolic diseases. Liver biopsy is the gold standard but limited due to its invasiveness, sampling error, and intra- and interobserver variability. Non-invasive tests are preferred in the management of chronic liver diseases. Several serum tests for liver function and markers of liver fibrosis are available and have moderate sensitivity and specificity; however, they are confounded by a wide range of extra-hepatic diseases. Currently, several methods are available for assessing hepatic fibrosis and progression of fibrogenesis including scintigraphy, magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy could differentiate between cirrhosis or severe fibrosis and normal liver. However, an accurate staging of fibrosis or diagnosis of mild fibrosis was often not achievable. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a real-time freehand ultrasonography-based elastography method for liver stiffness measurement. ;
