| Core Tip |
Transient elastography is transforming the fibrosis evaluation in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The dual cut-offs proposed by Chen et al (≤ 10 kPa and > 14.5 kPa) achieved excellent diagnostic accuracy and could eliminate the need for biopsy in most patients. However, interpretation requires attention to confounders such as cholestasiss, inflammation, and overlap syndromes. Standardized protocols, cross-modality validation, and integration with clinical scores will define the next frontier of precision staging for PBC. |
