Zusammenfassung

Background: Transient Elastography is a non invasive method to determine liver stiffness (LS). Besides liver fibrosis other conditions such as heart failure, flares of hepatitis, and bile duct obstruction can lead to increased LS values. Aim of the study: To evaluate the usefulness of transient elastography in patients after liver transplantation (LT) and the causes of increased LS after LT. Patients: A cohort of 235 patients 1 – 11 years after LT has been evaluated by conventional ultrasound, lab tests and transient elastography and-if available-by liver histology. A total of 573 valid elastography measurements…
