ABSTRACT: Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged a major challenge
and become the leading indication for liver transplantation. We aimed to assess
the applicability and performance of real-time elastography (RTE) in diagnosis
of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD compared with NAFLD fibrosis score
(NFS) and FIB-4 index. Patients and Methods: A prospective case-control
study was conducted on 260 subjects attended Hepatology, Gastroenterology and
Infectious diseases and Internal Medicine departments in Benha University
Hospital from Marsh 20, 2018, to September 1, 2019 and divided into group I
included 200 cases with NAFLD and group II included 60 healthy control
subjects. Results: There was statistically significant increase in FIB-4 scores between two groups (1.39 ± 1.02 and -0.75
± 0.32 respectively with p Conclusion: Real time elastography could be
valuable in diagnosis of fibrosis in NAFLD especially in cases more than F3
score.
