Extended Screening for Cystic Fibrosis-related Liver Disease Including Elastography in Children and Adolescents

Conclusions: In total, 8 patients (9.5%) in this pediatric CF population were categorized as having CFLD according to both biochemical and sonographic tests. Consistency was found among the results of FibroScan and SWE. We suggest WUSS and either FibroScan or SWE, combined with GGT as diagnostic markers for CFLD.
