Figure 1 Magnetic resonance elastography in untreated autoimmune hepatitis.
An 84-year-old female with grade 4 inflammation and cirrhosis. The liver has normal contour with no morphological features of cirrhosis. Lab tests were: AST 473, ALT 406, APRI 6.26 and FIB-4 10.31. LS was 6.4 kPa consistent with cirrhosis. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; APRI: AST to platelet ratio index; FIB-4: Fibrosis 4 test; LS: Liver stiffness.
