Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse in Alcoholic Liver Disease
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The most prevalent liver disease is alcoholic liver disease (ALD). It is undervalued and diagnosed. An early diagnosis is totally vital as it helps define patients at genetic danger for ALD; can cause effective abstinence, particularly in non-addicted patients; and start screening programs to avoid complications that threaten life. In the evaluation of liver fibrosis in alcoholic liver disease, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography has excellent usefulness. For several liver wounds, liver fibrosis is a prevalent condition. Our study was done on 50 patient suspected to have alcoholic liver disease for ultrasound scan of abdomen. The mean liver stiffness in normal patients was found to be 1.087 m/s. Mean ARFI velocity in ALD in our research, the biopsy was 1.83 m/s. ARFI imaging is a successful imaging method for evaluating the existence or lack of developed fibrosis in liver disease patients
