Assessment of liver fibrosis in transplant recipients with recurrent HCV infection: usefulness of transient elastography

F Corradi, F Piscaglia, S Flori… - Digestive and Liver …, 2009 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Progression of recurrent hepatitis C is accelerated in liver transplant
recipients, leading to special need of non-invasive validated methods to estimate liver
fibrosis. AIM: To assess the efficacy of liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography
(Fibroscan) and serum parameters in predicting fibrosis stage in HCV-infected transplant
recipients. METHODS: The correlation between liver fibrosis, assessed at liver histology on
bioptic specimens obtained for clinical indications, and stiffness or clinico-serological …
