In their recent study, Millonig and colleagues 1 concluded that extrahepatic cholestasis increases liver stiffness regardless of fibrosis and that once extrahepatic cholestasis is excluded, transient elastography (TE) is a valuable tool for assessing liver fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. The met
Significant liver fibrosis (Scheuer's stage ี 2) and significant portal/periportal necroinflammatory activity (PPA grade ี 2) were observed in 20% and 40% of the cases, respectively. Univariate analysis of variables associated with significant fibrosis and significant activity are summarized in Tabl
