Elastography of the Liver in Wilson’s Disease
Staging of liver fibrosis is of special significance in Wilson’s disease as it determines the patient’s prognosis and treatment. Histopathological examination is a standard method for fibrosis assessment; however, non-invasive methods like transient elastography and share wave elastography are belie...

description | Staging of liver fibrosis is of special significance in Wilson’s disease as it determines the patient’s prognosis and treatment. Histopathological examination is a standard method for fibrosis assessment; however, non-invasive methods like transient elastography and share wave elastography are believed to be reliable and repetitive and are expected to replace liver biopsy in Wilson’s disease. This article presents a short description of available elastography techniques and the results of the most recent studies on elastography of the liver in patients with Wilson’s disease. |
