Abstract
BACKGROUND: Liver stiffness (LS) is used to investigate the presence of portal hypertension (PH). LS measured with Transient elastography (TE) correlates with HVPG, and 21.1kPa is proposed as cut-off to predict clinically significant PH (CSPH). New elastographic techniques may overcome some limitations of TE, but their diagnostic accuracy remain to be defined. We aimed to compare the performance of TE, point shear wave elastography (ElastPQ) and 2D-Shear Wave Elastography (2D SWE) to predict the grade of PH in a cohort of cirrhotic patients.
