The presence of liver fibrosis is the most important indicator of progression to cirrhosis. Noninvasive measurement of liver stiffness is crucial for detecting fibrosis. Vibration-controlled transient elastography is one of the most useful methods for this purpose.

Methods: A total of 139 living liver donors (men/women: 83/56) who underwent MRI between January 2017 and September 2021 were included in this analysis retrospectively. The PDFFs were measured using both MR spectroscopy (MRS) and chemical shift-based MRI (CS-MRI) for each donor in a blinded manner.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to understand the progression of liver issues in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) through a retrospective analysis of data from 2016 patients.
- It was found that 11% of these patients experienced hepatic decompensation, with ascites being the most common initial event, followed by hepatic encephalopathy and variceal hemorrhage.
- The research revealed a median survival time of 2 years from the first liver-related event to either death or liver transplantation, emphasizing the seriousness of MASLD complications.
