5 lip 2019 · Using ultrasound-identified cirrhosis to diagnose compensated cirrhosis, the sensitivity was 34.0%, the specificity was 97.1%, the PPV was 89.8%, the NPV was 66.1%, the positive likelihood ratio was 11.6, the negative likelihood ratio was 0.68, and the AUROC was 0.66.
In this study, we sought to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing compensated cirrhosis (i.e., fibrosis with a modified Knodell score of F3, F4) in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients in real world clinical practice.
2 cze 2024 · Cirrhosis can be diagnosed with ultrasound, CT, and MRI, and these imaging modalities can also be used to evaluate for possible complications of cirrhosis, such as portal hypertension or hepatocellular carcinoma.
17 kwi 2017 · Ultrasound signs of cirrhosis on grey-scale (B mode) include changes in liver morphology and signs of portal hypertension . Most signs have a high specificity and can be considered sufficient to confirm the diagnosis of cirrhosis.
7 maj 2024 · Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is important to consider in patients with cirrhosis, as cardiac dysfunction is related to the development of acute decompensation and has prognostic implications in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
18 lut 2022 · Liver biopsy and measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient in patients with cirrhosis are the gold standards for the estimation of hepatic fibrosis, and they have diagnostic and prognostic value. However, both approaches are invasive and cannot be used repeatedly in clinical practice.
18 lut 2019 · Ultrasound (US) is a simple and non-invasive diagnostic tool in the abdominal field. Doppler mode offers real-time hemodynamic evaluation, and the contrast-enhanced US is one of the most frequently used modalities for the detailed assessment.
