Our aim was to compare liver stiffness (LS) measurements by means of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography and transient elastography (TE) in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C, according to the severity of fibrosis. We also compared the correlation strength of ARFI and TE measurements with liver fibrosis. We included 53 patients with hepatitis B and 107 with hepatitis C in which liver biopsy, ARFI and TE measurements were performed in the same session. The mean LS values measured with ARFI were similar in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C and depended on the stage of fibrosis. The correlation strength of LS measurements by ARFI and by TE with fibrosis was similar in chronic hepatitis B and C patients. In conclusion, for the same stage of fibrosis, the mean LS values by ARFI were similar in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C. ARFI had similar predictive value with TE in both chronic viral hepatitis.
我们的目的是比较慢性乙型和丙型肝炎患者的声辐射脉冲弹性成像（ARFI）和瞬时弹性成像（TE）的肝硬度（LS）测量结果，根据纤维化的严重程度进行比较。我们还比较了 ARFI 和 TE 测量值与肝纤维化的相关性强度。我们纳入了 53 例乙型肝炎和 107 例丙型肝炎患者，这些患者在同一次检查中进行了肝活检、ARFI 和 TE 测量。ARFI 测量的 LS 值在慢性乙型和丙型肝炎患者中相似，且取决于纤维化的分期。ARFI 和 TE 的 LS 测量值与纤维化的相关性在慢性乙型和丙型肝炎患者中相似。总之，对于相同的纤维化分期，慢性乙型和丙型肝炎患者的 ARFI 平均 LS 值相似。ARFI 在两种慢性病毒性肝炎中的预测价值与 TE 相似。
