Acoustic radiation force impulse elastography and liver fibrosis risk scores in severe obesity

ABSTRACT Objective: Identifying significant fibrosis is crucial to evaluate the prognosis and therapeutic interventions in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We assessed the performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography, APRI, FIB-4, Forns, NFS and BARD scores ...

Correlation between COVID-19 severity, body mass index and radiological hepatic morphology

Int. j. morphol; 39 (4), 2021
SUMMARY: Obesity and fatty liver steatosis are already considered metabolic risk factors which may aggravate the severity of COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the correlation between COVID-19 severity, obesity, and liver steatosis and fibrosis. 230 consecutive patients with laboratory-confirmed CO...

Hepatosplenic shear wave elastography for prediction of esophageal varices in cirrhosis: a promising future?

Application of acoustic radiation force impulse elastography combined with serum markers in Child-Pugh grading

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography, the aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index are widely used to assess liver fibrosis. However, efficacies of these meth...

A dúvida: tireotoxicose versus hipertireoidismo descompensado

Relata-se o caso de paciente do sexo masculino, atendido em um hospital universitário, após quadro duvidoso e arrastado de alteração cardíaca e hipertireoidiana, com a propedêutica sequencial própria para crise tireotóxica. Destaca-se a necessidade de identificação precoce da apresentação c...

Avaliação da progressão da fibrose hepática em um grupo de pacientes com doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica acompanhados por 10 anos

Arq. gastroenterol; 56 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has been progressively diagnosed in the general population as a consequence of the increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, its main risk factors. It is characterized by accumulation of fat in the hepatocytes associated with lo...

Higher values in liver elastography and meld score are mortality predictors on liver transplant waiting list

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Liver elastography have been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with higher values; however, it is unclear to identify morbimortality risk on liver transplantation waiting list. Aim: To assess liver stiffness, ultrasound and clinical findings in cirrhotic patients with and...

Transient Elastography vs Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index in Hepatitis C: A Meta-Analysis

Ann. hepatol; 16 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Background and rationale. Many different non-invasive methods have been studied with the purpose of staging liver fibrosis. The objective of this study was verifying if transient elastography is superior to aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index for staging fibrosis in patients with...

New index for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in Schistosomiasis mansoni

Arq. gastroenterol; 54 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Periportal fibrosis is the major pathological consequence of the Schistosoma mansoni infection. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of serum markers and to construct an index to assess fibrosis. METHODS Patients (n=116) with schistosomiasis were evaluated by ultrasound scan and meas...
