Normal - Alcoholism - Cirrhosis - Hepatitis C |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of fibrosis in the liver of hepatitis C
patients with advanced fibrosis, using endoscopic ultrasound.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
Background: Transabdominal ultrasound cannot be used to quantitate fibrosis in patients
with cirrhosis due to variability in the abdominal wall thickness and composition. This
variability can be eliminated by using endoscopic ultrasound.
Aim: To determine the amount of fibrosis in the liver of hepatitis C patients with advanced
fibrosis, using endoscopic ultrasound.
