Article Synopsis
- The study investigates pancreatic atrophy in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) to establish diagnostic standards and analyze factors affecting the condition.
- Measurements of pancreatic size and associated variables like calcifications were collected from a cohort of 539 CP patients to determine cutoffs for identifying atrophy and its link to exocrine pancreatic dysfunction (EPD).
- Results show that specific pancreatic size measurements are linked to EPD, with male sex, older age, and longer CP duration being significant risk factors for pancreatic atrophy.
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, in which liver stiffness increases. Liver stiffness measurements (LSM) are therefore essential in diagnosing liver diseases and predicting disease development. The study objective was to perform a comprehensive prospective assessment of the liver before, after and 4 years after treatment for HCV, including an assessment of the long-term outcome of fibrosis, steatosis and inflammation.
