Three-dimensional MR Elastography for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension (CHESS2206): a Prospective Multicenter Study
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis or advanced chronic liver disease. We plan to investigate the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to establish a risk stratification system and perform tailored management for portal hypertension in cirrhosis or advanced chronic liver disease.
• age \> 18 years old
• confirmed cirrhosis or ACLD (advanced chronic liver disease) (laboratory, imaging and clinical symptoms)
• with 3D-MRE within 1 month prior to HVPG measurement
• written informed consent
