The inverse effect of meal intake on controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness as assessed by transient elastography

BACKGROUND: Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness (LS) measured by transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan®) have been used for steatosis and fibrosis assessment. We evaluated the effect of meal intake on CAP and LS values. METHODS: Forty patients who had had a liver biopsy within...
