Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of Transient Elastography (TE) for the evaluation of subjects chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Methods: Our study included 788 succesive patients chronically infected with HCV evaluated in our Department between June 2007-December 2012 (473 patients with chronic hepatitis C evaluated by liver biopsy -LB, and 315 patients with liver cirrhosis diagnosed by means of biological, clinical, ultrasonographic and/or endoscopic criteria, in whom we excluded the presence of ascites). In each patient we performed liver stiffness measurements (LSMs) by using a FibroScan…
