Abstract

BACKGROUND: Monitoring liver changes is crucial in the management of liver fibrosis. Current diagnostic methods include liver function tests such as the Liver Maximum Capacity (LiMAx) test and measurements of liver stiffness. While the LiMAx test quantifies liver function through 13C-methacetin metabolism, ultrasound (US) elastography noninvasively assesses liver stiffness. The relationship ...
