Study Summary
This study is being conducted to develop new techniques for early diagnosis of liver disease. These techniques are: Shearwave Elastography (SWE) ultrasound and blood biomarkers. SWE ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to view soft tissues such as muscles and internal organs and measure stiffness. An ultrasound creates computer images that show internal body organs, such as the liver or kidneys, more clearly than regular x-ray images. Biomarkers are biological molecules found in the blood that provide important information about liver disease.
Primary Outcome
Philips shearwave ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive procedure for assessing liver status. It provides a virtual biopsy by using liver stiffness data to detect fibrotic changes. It turns an invasive, painful, and expensive procedure into a simple, painless one, making it easier to monitor the 30 patients and leading to a more definitive diagnosis. A commercial US scanner (iU22, Philips Healthcare) was modified to produce shearwaves and track them.
