Abstract
Background and purposes: Assessing liver fibrosis is very necessary for diagnosis, follow- up the response to treatment and prognosis. Data about the evaluation of ARFI and NAFLD fibrosis score in assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD in Viet Nam is still limited. This study is aimed at determining the SWV by ARFI and NFS and related factors in patients with NAFLD.
Patients and method: 106 patients of NAFLD were assessed SWV by techniques of ARFI and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) at Minh Anh International Hospital, from March 2021 to February 2022.
Results: SWV, performed by ARFI, was 1.05 ± 0.40 (m/s); NFS was -1.93 ± 1.35. A positive correlation between NFS and liver fibrosis stages assessed by ARFI (r=0.43; p<0.001) was found. SWV was positively correlated with age (OR=0.009, p<0.05) and BMI (OR=0.02, p<0.05), negatively correlated with platelet counts (OR=-0.002, p=0.001). A relationship between NFS with age, diabetes mellitus, fasting glycemia, platelet, albumin was found in a multivariate linear regression (p<0.05).
Conclusion: A remarkable percentage of NAFLD patients had liver fibrosis ≥ F2. SWV was positively correlated with age, BMI and negatively correlated with platelet count. NFS was correlated with age, BMI, glycemia, albumin and platelet
