Introduction Hepatic fibrosis is the underlying pathological condition in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Shear wave elastography (SWE) with elastography point quantification (ElastPQ) feature is a recently developed method for measuring tissue elasticity. Aim of this study To evaluate the ...

Stage II: Fibrosis Chronic inflammation causes scar tissue to grow in the liver, which replaces healthy functional liver tissue and impairs the liver’s functionality. The symptoms are usually mild or absent; however, some people may develop fatigueor discomfort in the stomach. If the underlying ...
Have chronic viral hepatitis, especiallyhepatitis C Are Black or Hispanic and male or assigned male at birth Are female or assigned female at birth, because of the way the bodies of these individuals process alcohol Are older – the older you are, the more likely it becomes ...
Hedgehog (Hh) signalling regulates hepatic fibrogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) mediate various cellular processes; however, their role in liver fibrosis is unclear. Here we investigate regulation of miRNAs in chronically damaged fibrotic liver. MiRNA profil
The AST test is part of the comprehensivemetabolic panel, which is a routine blood test your doctor uses to monitor your overall health. It is often part of your regular checkups.Your doctor may also do a fibrosis (scarring) assessment called FIB4. It uses the AST, ALT, platelet count,...
