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.
