Transient elastography in DAA era. Relation between post‐SVR LSM and histology

The natural history of HCV chronic infection has drastically changed after direct‐acting antiviral treatment. Due to the high sustained virological response (SVR) achieved, noninvasive estimation of liver fibrosis regression has become a major key point. The present study tries to evaluate the relat...

Summary:The natural history of HCV chronic infection has drastically changed after direct‐acting antiviral treatment. Due to the high sustained virological response (SVR) achieved, noninvasive estimation of liver fibrosis regression has become a major key point. The present study tries to evaluate the relation between liver histology and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) after SVR.
