Spleen Stiffness Measurements Using Point Shear Wave Elastography Among HIV-Infected Patients
- Conditions
- 1. Portal hypertension in the absence of overt parenchymal chronic liver disease has been described in small cohorts of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with complications including variceal bleeding and ascites.2. Spleen stiffness measurements (SSM) have shown a superior association with the presence of portal hypertension compared with LSM in cirrhosis patients.HIV Infections Idiopathic Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension
