NCT04533932

Brief Summary

This is a single-center, prospective, non-randomized, comparative study which will compare the diagnostic accuracy and safety of endosonographic real-time Elastography and shear wave Elastography with the current standards of care, i.e. liver biopsy and Vibration-controlled transient elastography (Fibroscan). Subjects who are referred for an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided liver biopsy will be prospectively enrolled to undergo liver biopsy, Elastography and/or Vibration-controlled transient elastography.

Study Population

Patients undergoing liver biopsy

You may qualify if:

  • Patients referred for EUS guided liver biopsy
  • Elevated liver enzymes without obvious etiology, thus necessitating liver biopsy or clinical concern for cirrhosis or NASH requiring histological confirmation
  • Ability to provide informed consent and willing to participate

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinical evidence of cirrhosis which obviates need for liver biopsy
  • Noninvasive lab testing which confirms presence of cirrhosis
  • Surgically altered foregut anatomy which precludes safe endoscopic liver biopsy
  • Coagulopathy with INR greater than 1.6 in patients on anticoagulant therapy
  • Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 50,000/mL
  • Pregnancy (positive urine pregnancy test in females of childbearing age)
  • Lack of consent
