Liver elastography in a department of gastroenterology and hepatology - not only viral hepatitis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Introduction: Non-invasive methods of liver fibrosis staging have changed diagnostics of chronic liver diseases. Advances in ultrasound based elastographical methods in particular and their expansion to clinical practice substantially decreased a need of liver biopsy. We present our experience with introduction of pointshear wave liver elastography (pSWE) to our daily practice. Aim/Methods: To evaluate a spectrum of chronic liver diseases in patients examined within the first year of elastography practice in our hospital. All patients with a chronic liver disease referred to our department were examined using ultrasound machine Hitachi-Aloka Arietta 70 equipped with pSWE module. Each patient was included only once. Results: We examined a total of 419 patients (age 55,8 ± 17,0 years). Aetiology was [n of patients; %; avg. age; % of patients with liver cirrhosis; avg. age of cirrhotics]: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – NAFLD [188 patients (45%); 58,4 years; 8% cirrhotics; 61,8 years], alcoholic liver disease [69 (16%); 59,1 years; 59%; 59,5 years], HCV [67 (16%); 49,1 years; 17,9%; 62,4 years], HBV [66 (16%); 51,9 years; 9,1%; 52,1 years], primary biliary cholangitis [11 (3%); 63,3 years; 36%; 66,9 years], autoimmune hepatitis [10 (2%); 58,4 years; 20%; 64,7 years] , other 6 (1%). Conclusion: NAFLD represented the most common aetiology of chronic liver disease in our patients, followed by alcoholic liver disease, HCV and HBV. ALD patients were the most advanced ones.
