Studying the Effect of Hepatic Steatosis on Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) in HBV Patients With and Without Therapy
In patients with hepatitis B, the LSM derived from transient elastography does not show a statistically significant correlation with factors such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), or degree of hepatic steatosis. According to this study, the LSM number is not a reliable indicator for identifying hepatic steatosis in patients with hepatitis B when compared to the CAP score (AUC = 0.69 and 0.74).
