Abstract-Vorschau
Aims: Measurement of liver stiffness (LS) by vibration-controlled transient elastography [VCTE/Fibroscan] is limited in patients with obesity and ascites. We here test and compare the recently developed more powerful XL probe versus the conventional M probe. Methods: LS was measured in 129 obese and non-obese patients (BMI range 17.2–72.4) using both the M and XL probe. In addition, BMI, waist to hip ratio, transami…
