Acoustic radiation force impulse elastography, a method for liver stiffness measurement, can predict future decompensation in patients with cirrhosis. It is comparable to transient elastography and has additional benefits for obese patients and those with ascites.
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography has been used as a modality for liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients with cirrhosis and has been shown to be useful in the prediction of varices in compensated is comparable to transient elastography (TE)-based LSM, with additional benefits in obese patients and those with ascites.3 ARFI-LSM during pregnancy has been shown to predict future decompensations in pregnancy with cirrhosis.4 In a recent work, Sharma et al. have elegantly shown that LSM by TE in patients presenting with acute variceal bleed (AVB) serves as a predictor of future decompensation.5 In this context, we analysed our cohort of patients presenting with index AVB who underwent LSM measurement with ARFI to assess whether post-bleed LSM is predictive of future decompensation.
