Trial Information

Prediction of Incidence of Liver Cancer or PorTal Hypertension in Patients With Viral Hepatitis by Use of Real-time Tissue Elastography


The aim of this study is to validate the predictive value of Real-time Tissue Elastography®
by comparison with serum marker or FibroScan® in chronic hepatitis B or C patients.

Every year and for three years, we performed Real-time Tissue Elastography®, blood sampling,
gastrointestinal endoscopy. If in the hospital they can perform FibroScan®, FobroScan® also
be performed.

Subjects were also performed ultrasonography (US), computed sonography (CT) or magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) evry four or six months.

The time between the Real-time Tissue Elastography®, blood sampling, gastrointestinal
endoscopy and FiroScan® must not exceed four weeks.
