Liver fibrosis and transient elastography (TE) correlation in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) after sustained virological response (SVR) is unknown. AimsTo evaluate TE accuracy at identifying cirrhosis 3 years after HCV-eradication. MethodsProspective, multi-centric study including HCV-cACLD patients before direct-acting antivirals (DAA). Diagnostic accuracy of TE (area under ROC,… Continue reading #Elastography is unable to exclude #cirrhosis after sustained virological response in #HCV-infected patients with advanced chronic liver disease
