BACKGROUND AND AIM: Severe muscle volume loss is a recognized negative prognostic factor in patients with chronic liver disease. However, the effect of skeletal muscle fat deposition, referred to as myosteatosis on muscle volume loss remains uncle...
Background &
Aims: We investigated the correlation between histological characteristics and changes in liver stiffness (LS) in patients with sustained virological response (SVR) using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography. Metho...
