Purpose: To evaluate hepatic and splenic shear wave velocity (SWV) values in patients with congenital metabolic liver diseases. Materials & Methods: Eighty-four patients with different types of congenital metabolic liver diseases (Group 1) and 29 age, gender, body mass index-matched control patients with other metabolic disorders and normal liver functions (Group 2) were enrolled in this study. Hepatic and splenic SWV values were obtained by two sonologists with high interobserver agreement, using standard point shear wave elastography (pSWE) technique. The sonographic examinations were performed without being i…
