Findings from Fujian Medical University Reveals New Findings on Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (Liver Stiffness Measurement Can Predict Liver Inflammation In Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Normal Alanine Transaminase).

A study conducted by Fujian Medical University in China found that liver stiffness measurement (LSM) can predict liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B patients with normal alanine transaminase levels. The research involved 439 patients with different upper limits of normal for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and concluded that LSM can guide the indication of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients with normal ALT levels. The study was funded by various organizations in China and has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology. [Extracted from the article]
