Patients underwent a liver biopsy before starting treatment with interferon. No follow-up , Found that ARFI correlated significantly with liver fibrosis stage in all patients. Additionally, ARFI correlated significantly with BMI, GTP and hyaluronic acid blood levels in fibrosis stages F0–1, F2 and F3–4, respectively. ARFI measurements did not correlate with inflammation.
