Transient Elastography in Acute Cellular Rejection Following Liver Transplantation: Systematic Review
Transient elastography (TE) is a noninvasive technique that measures liver stiffness. When an inflammatory process is present, this is shown by elevated levels of stiffness. Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a consequence of an inflammatory response directed at endothelial and bile epithelial cells, and it is diagnosed through liver biopsy. This is a systematic review of the viability of TE in ACR following liver transplantation.
