The Use of Transient Elastometry for Assessing Liver Fibrosis in Patients with HIV and Hepatitis C Virus Coinfection

Abstract

We found that the diagnostic accuracy of TE was high for detecting cirrhosis and good for diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis. However, the performance of TE was low for discriminating mild fibrosis from significant liver fibrosis, which might limit the applicability of this technique in clinical practice.
