MR Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis B

Retrospective and Prospective Multi-center Clinical Study of Magnetic Resonance Elastography in Evaluating Hepatic Fibrosis in Chronic Viral Hepatitis B

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

How to construct a non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to evaluate the severity of liver fibrosis (LF) is an important general problem in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We plan to investigate the ability of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to grade fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B and apply to clinical longitudinal follow-up.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Age ≥ 18 years old - Confirmed CHB (laboratory, imaging and clinical tests) - MRE within 6 months before and after liver biopsy - Treatment-naïve - Child-Pugh Grade A (\<7 points) - Written willing to sign a consent form in prospective follow-up cohort Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients with liver malignant tumor - Chronic hepatitis due to other causes (such as alcoholic hepatitis) - CHB combined with hepatitis C, hepatitis D, or HIV - Patients with biliary tract diseases - Contraindications of MRE examination, MRE failure - Poor pathological effect Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
