Core Tip	Although some studies have measured liver stiffness by transient elastography in healthy populations, few reports evaluate these with respect to liver biopsy results. This study adds to the knowledge of liver stiffness values in clinically and histologically normal livers of an Arab population, which may form the basis for future clinical practice. The results of this study suggest a new normal level of liver stiffness for this particular population, which differs from other populations reported in the literature.
