Résumé

The purpose of our study was to prospectively compare the success rate and diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography, ultrasound elastography, and aspartate aminotransferase to platelets ratio index (APRI) measurements for the noninvasive staging of fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.

Chronic liver disease

Chronic liver disease in the clinical context is a disease process of the liver that involves a process of progressive destruction and regeneration of the liver parenchyma leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. "Chronic liver disease" refers to disease of the liver which lasts over a period of six months. It consists of a wide range of liver pathologies which include inflammation (chronic hepatitis), liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The entire spectrum need not be experienced.

La cirrhose (du grec ancien : « roux ») est une maladie grave du foie, résultant d’agressions biochimiques répétées, le plus souvent par la consommation chronique d’alcool ou par des virus hépatotropes mais pouvant aussi résulter de l’accumulation de graisses dans le foie, de maladies auto-immunes, de déficits enzymatiques ou autres. Elle est définie selon des critères morphologiques de fibrose et de transformation de l’architecture normale du foie en nodules structurellement anormaux dont la couleur roussâtre a inspiré le nom actuel de la maladie à René Laennec.

Alcoholic liver disease

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD), also called alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD), is a term that encompasses the liver manifestations of alcohol overconsumption, including fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and chronic hepatitis with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. It is the major cause of liver disease in Western countries. Although steatosis (fatty liver disease) will develop in any individual who consumes a large quantity of alcoholic beverages over a long period of time, this process is transient and reversible.

Inverse Problems in Pulse-Echo Ultrasound: Exploiting Coherence for Image Enhancement and Quantitative Imaging

Samuel Denys Beuret

Whereas pulse-echo ultrasound imaging relied on focused acoustic waves since its inception, the last two decades have seen the development of techniques based on unfocused waves, including ultrafast ultrasound imaging. In large part due to the emergence of ...

A microbial-derived succinylated bile acid to safeguard liver health

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

In this issue of Cell, Nie and co-authors report that the microbe-derived bile acid (BA) 3-succinylated cholic acid protects against the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease. Intriguingly, its protective mechanism does not involve ...
