Diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography in diagnosing clinically significant portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsLiver stiffness measurement using TE correlates well with HVPG, and a liver stiffness cut-off value of 22.8 kPa shows a high accuracy for diagnosing CSPH. Thus, use of TE should be integrated into clinical practice for noninvasive diagnosis of CSPH.
