Abstract
Objective: to substantiate the possibility and efficiency of using ultrasound elastography for noninvasive evaluation of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Material and methods: Modern foreign and Russian scientific publications were analyzed, the electronic bases Medline, PubMed were used. Ultrasonic shearing wave elastography (SWE) of the liver was performed in patients with chronic liver diseases using the apparatus HITACHI / ALOKA Arietta 70. Results: The use of ultrasonic elastography in patients with chronic liver disease will make it possible to assess the rigidity of the liver, perform stratification and to identify patients with increased risk of development of clinically significant portal hypertension and patients who need additional examination using invasive methods.
