Evaluation of liver elasticity with shear‐wave elastography in juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients receiving methotrexate

Background Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐choice disease‐modifying drug in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) treatment. Methotrexate is metabolized in the liver and can cause liver toxicity and fibrosis with long‐term use. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is a non‐invasive method and can...
