Abstract: Objective To analyze the difference of Young's modulus between cirrhotic patients with different etiologies.Methods There were 1 99 patients with decompensated cirrhosis enrolled in this study, all of them had been diagnosed clinically.There were 139 cases of hepatitis B patients with cirrhosis,26 cases of hepatitis C patients with liver cirrhosis,34 cases of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis,and selected 50 healthy volunteers as control group in the same period.All subj ects underwent liver shear wave elastography examination,measured and recorded the Young's modulus,and compared the difference between each groups.Results The Young's modulus of liver in the healthy control group was (4.81±0.9)kPa,which was lowest in all groups.The Young's modulus of hepatitis B cirrhosis,hepatitis C cirrhosis,alcoholic cirrhosis increased successively,which was (16.3±8.9)kPa,(17.8±4.8)kPa,(30.6±12.3)kPa,respectively,and the difference between the groups was statistically significant(F =27.95,P <0.01).Conclusions There were some differences of the Young's modulus of cirrhotic patients with different etiologies by real-time shear wave elastography.
