Accuracy of Transient Elastography Data Combined With APRI in Detection and Staging of Liver Disease in Pediatric Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Liver disease develops in 15%–72% of patients with cystic fibrosis, and 5%–10% develop cirrhosis or portal hypertension, usually during childhood. Transient elastography (TE) is a noninvasive method to measure liver stiffness. We aimed to validate its accuracy in detection of liver disease and asses...
