P-45 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND SHEAR-WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEPATIC LOBE PREDICTS LIVER CIRRHOSIS: A DIAGNOSTIC TRIAL

Abstract:

Introduction and Objectives The diagnostic work-up of chronic liver disease includes less invasive procedures such as transient elastography (TE), abdominal ultrasonography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and more invasive procedures, mainly portal gradient pressure measurement and liver biopsy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) recently included shear-wave elastography (tissue elasticity), defined as the elastic modulus by measuring shear-wave velocity. This study aimed to evaluate EUS shear-wave of the liver to pbkp_redict liver cirrhosis. Materials and Methods a single-center, diagnostic cohort study. Consecutive patients with a history of chronic liver disease were evaluated with an EUS shear-wave elastography of the right and left hepatic lobes. Patients without any medical condition history despite subepithelial lesions were included as a control. A TE was performed to study and control patients to correlate with …
