ABSTRACT
Liver cirrhosis is a pathological stage in which most chronic liver diseases progress to the advanced stages, and the main complications of liver cirrhosis include portal hypertension, gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, and liver cancer. Transient elastography (TE) uses acoustic waves to obtain liver stiffness measurement (LSM) noninvasively and is currently widely used in clinical practice. At present, various studies on LSM and liver cirrhosis and its complications suggest that TE has the ability to identify liver cirrhosis and its complications and can thus reduce unnecessary invasive procedures to a certain degree. This article summarizes and elaborates on the advances in the clinical application of TE in liver cirrhosis and its complications.
