Liver stiffness based model for portal hypertension and hepatocellular cancer risk in HBV responsive to antivirals.

CONCLUSIONS: LSPS is useful to identify patients with regression of PH and EVs, avoiding endoscopy. LSPS ≤0.62 at baseline or due to antiviral therapy is associated with a lower risk of HCC. Early antiviral treatment is recommended in order to maintain or to induce LSPS ≤0.62. PMID: 30356037 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
