Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the indications of liver stiffness evaluation by means of Transient Elastography (TE) in our Department. Methods: Our study included 7791 adults subjects evaluated by means of TE (using the standard M-probe) in our Department during a five years period (June 2007 – June 2012). In each patient, liver stiffness measurements were performed using a FibroScan device (EchoSens, Paris, France). Ten valid measurements were performed in each patient; a median value was calculated and expressed in kilopascals (kPa). Results: The indications of liver stiffness evaluation by means of TE w…
