Staging of liver fibrosis is of special significance in Wilson's disease as it determines the patient's prognosis and treatment. Histopathological examination is a standard method for fibrosis assessment; however, non-invasive methods like transient elastography and share wave elastography are believed to be reliable and repetitive and are expected to replace liver biopsy in Wilson's disease. This article presents a short description of available elastography techniques and the results of the most recent studies on elastography of the liver in patients with Wilson's disease.
肝纤维化分期在威尔逊病中具有特殊意义，因为它决定了患者的预后和治疗。组织病理学检查是评估纤维化的标准方法；然而，像瞬时弹性成像和剪切波弹性成像这样的非侵入性方法被认为是可靠且可重复的，有望在威尔逊病中取代肝活检。本文简要介绍了现有的弹性成像技术以及关于威尔逊病患者肝脏弹性成像的最新研究结果。
