Abstract-Vorschau
Background: Measurement of liver stiffness (LS) by transient elastography [TE/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 in obese and non-obese patients. Methods: LS was measured in 129 (BMI range 17.2–72.4) using both the M and XL probe. In addition, BMI, waist to hip ratio, transaminases and basi…
