Transient elastography and fibrosis-4 index as predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C virus patients with sustained virological response
In cACLD-HCV SVR patients, pre-treatment or 1-year-EOT LSM ≥ 20 kPa and FIB-4 ≥ 3.25 but not their delta was associated with HCC. A single measure of LSM ≥ 20 kPa or FIB-4 ≥ 3.25, either pre-treatment or 1-year-EOT, would be necessary to predict the incidence of HCC in people with HCV-SVR.
