Transient Elastography Is a Useful Noninvasive Tool for the Evaluation of Fibrosis in Paediatric Chronic Liver Disease

Abstract

The present study demonstrates that TE is a reliable tool in distinguishing different stages of liver fibrosis in paediatric patients. Thus, TE may serve as a useful adjunct to liver biopsy for diagnostic purposes providing a reliable method of noninvasively monitoring liver disease progression in children.
