Comparative Evaluation of the Degree of Liver Fibrosis on Ultrasound-Based Fibroscan and Hyaluran Tests in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
The study demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the mean FibroScan value in non-CLD and CLD cases. The results also indicated statistically significant difference in the mean Hyaluran value in non-CLD and the CLD cases. The study demonstrated a significant correlation between Hyaluran and FibroScan in assessing the degree of moderate and severe fibrosis in CLD.
