| Core Tip |
Previous studies on the correlation between imaging and laboratory findings in acute hepatitis have shown conflicting results. This study revealed a correlation between abdominal computed tomography findings and liver biochemical parameters. In particular, gallbladder wall thickness (GWT) was the only independent imaging finding that predicts severe hepatitis and prolonged cholestasis. The results of this study suggest that GWT measurement, which is a relatively easy and objective procedure, is helpful to predict severe acute hepatitis or prolonged cholestasis.
