Overview

The diagnostic study of choice in developing countries for the diagnosis of cirrhosis in alcoholic liver disease is liver biopsy. In developed countries the diagnostic study of choice for cirrhosis is now the FibroScan or transient elastography.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Diagnostic study of choice in developing countries:

Diagnostic study of choice in developed countries:

  • FibroScan or transient elastography is now the gold standard test for the diagnosis of cirrhosis in patients with alcoholic liver disease in developed countries.[9][10]
  • Transient elastography and the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technique are well-established methods for the staging of fibrosis in cirrhosis.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] 
  • The FibroScan (transient elastography) uses elastic waves to determine liver stiffness which theoretically may be converted into a liver score.
  • The FibroScan produces an ultrasound image of the liver (from 20-80mm) along with a pressure reading (in kPa).
  • Transient elastography is much faster than a biopsy (usually lasts 2.5-5 minutes) and is completely painless.
  • Findings on transient elastography may show reasonable correlation with the severity of cirrhosis:[22][23]
  • Note: Alcoholic steatohepatitis often coexists with fibrosis, since these tests are based on measurement of liver stiffness, it is better to wait until AST is less than 100U/L during alcohol withdrawal in order to preserve the diagnostic accuracy of this test.[24]
