The aim of this diagnostic study is to evaluate the efficacy of ARFI imaging (a specific type of ultrasound) in assessing the pressure of the portal vein (the major vein passing through the liver) and the amount of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.
DESIGN The study is designed as a prospective, cross-sectional, diagnostic study in which the investigators will evaluate the use of ARFI to diagnose clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH defined as hepatic veous pressure gradient (HVPG)greater than 10 mmHg), taking HVPG measurements as gold standard.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARFI ultrasound | Device | ARFI imaging of the liver and spleen will be performed immediately before transjugular liver biopsy and HVPG procedures |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| correlation of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) measurement of organ stiffness with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) | Both measurements are estimates of portal hypertension (defined as equal to HVPG greater than 10 mmHg). | Both outcome measurements (ARFI measurements and HVPG) will be obtained within an average time frame of 4-8 hours |
