Measurement of liver and spleen stiffness as complementary methods for assessment of liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Liver stiffness measurements (LSM), commonly performed by transient elastography (TE) or two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE), are used to quantify liver fibrosis. Active hepatitis, a hallmark of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), could bias LSM. This bias might be overcome... View More
