Prospective evaluation of transient elastography for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in Asians: comparison with liver biopsy and aspartate transaminase platelet ratio index

Summary Background Transient elastography (TE) is a reliable non‐invasive predictor of hepatic fibrosis, but data on TE in Asians are limited. Aim To evaluate prospectively the accuracy of TE for diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in Asians compared with APRI (aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio i...
