Role of Combined Ultrasound Elastography in Evaluation the Degree of Liver Fibrosis in Children With Cholesteric Liver Disease
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
Pediatric CLDs are diverse, encompassing a broad spectrum of conditions, from congenital and metabolic disorders to autoimmune and viral diseases. These chronic liver conditions in children often carry the risk of progressing to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Additionally, certain liver diseases in children exhibit unique characteristics, including varying rates of fibrosis progression. For example, while fibrosis typically takes months to develop in most patients, it progresses much faster in neonates . Approximately 1%-2% of adults, but a significantly higher 17%-30% of children, progress to advanced liver disease and require liver transplantation annually. the aim of the study to evaluate the diagnostic value of Combi-Elasto technique in detecting degree of liver fibrosis in children with Cholestatic Liver Disease
