Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder that may result in protein-losing enteropathy. We report a 21-year-old man with malabsorption syndrome, an unintentional weight loss of 30 kg over 10 months, lymphocytopenia, and hepatic aminotransferase elevation. His diagnosis was established by a combination of enteroscopy, histopathology, and secondary etiology exclusion.

- Acoustic radiation force impulse point shear wave elastography (ARFI-pSWE) is a technique used to measure liver stiffness by analyzing shear-wave velocity (SWV), but its effectiveness in assessing liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients was previously unclear.
- A study involving 114 adult CHB patients determined that ARFI-pSWE has a strong correlation with FibroScan, suggesting it is a reliable method for staging liver fibrosis.
- The optimal SWV cut-off values found were 1.37 m/s for significant fibrosis and 1.70 m/s for cirrhosis, with high sensitivity and specificity for both conditions, indicating ARFI-pSWE's potential as a diagnostic tool in clinical settings
