Key Words Chronic hepatitis C; Liver stiffness; Cirrhosis; Transient elastography; Direct-acting antiviral therapy
Core Tip We evaluated changes in liver stiffness measured by transient elastography(TE) in a large, racially diverse cohort of U.S. patients with chronic hepatitis C. We retrospective evaluated differences in liver stiffness between patients treated with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and untreated patients. Our study shows a higher baseline kPa score was independently associated with decreased liver stiffness, and also differences in liver stiffness may be observed on serial TE measurements in patients with higher baseline scores, irrespective of treatment effect. DAA treatment was not associated with a differential change in liver stiffness over time in patients with CHC compared to untreated patients.
