Acoustic radiation force Impulse (ARFI) technology correlates shear-wave velocity with @entity82 . It can differentiate between advanced @entity82 and normal tissue in @entity409 . However, specificity is impaired by @entity1448 , @entity32 or @entity4 in @entity99 . In @entity1 with @entity879 ( @entity879 ) necessitating liver transplantation ARFI has not been evaluated yet. We investigated 3 @entity1 with @entity879 and compared their ARFI results to those of healthy controls (n = 33) and cases with @entity1575 (n = 21). In the 3 @entity879 @entity1 shear-wave velocities were 3.0, 2.5, and 2.7 m/s, respectively. These results were significantly increased compared to those of healthy controls (median: 1.13 m/s; p < 0.001) and similar to those of cirrhotic individuals (median: 2.93 m/s). Two individuals underwent liver transplantation. Explants showed massive @entity39 , but no signs of @entity409 . @entity1 3 recovered spontaneously and showed decreasing ARFI results during follow-up. In conclusion, @entity99 can @entity1575 at ARFI evaluation in @entity879 @entity1 and this impairs the specificity of ARFI.
