| Core Tip |
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) are widely validated surrogates of portal hypertension (PH) and its complications. Their role in the assessment of therapy response, such as treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) of hepatitis C virus patients, is still under investigation. We demonstrated in a large cohort that not only LSM, but also SSM, is reduced six months after successful DAA therapy. As opposed to LSM, SSM directly reflects PH and is less influenced by the immediate reduction of liver necro-inflammation. We believe that SSM could represent a helpful tool for the clinician in the follow-up of these patients. |
