The investigator aimed to prospectively study the effect of the hepatic fibrosis on quantifying hepatic steatosis using ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI value) in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported to be associated with the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Prior studies demonstrate that concurrent fatty liver increases risk of hepatocellular carcinoma among patients with chronic hepatitis B. Therefore, quantification of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patient has important clinical significance in active surveillance.
Ultrasound imaging provides reliable noninvasive quantification of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Attenuation imaging (ATI) reflects hepatic steatosis and 2D-shear wave elastography reflects hepatic fibrosis.
The potential interaction between of the hepatic fibrosis and the hepatic steatosis in chronic hepatitis B is not fully understood. The investigator investigated the effect of the hepatic fibrosis on quantifying hepatic steatosis using ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI value) in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
