Is laparoscopy an advantage in the diagnosis of cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis C virus infection?

World journal of gastroenterology - 1 Apr 2003

Wietzke-Braun Perdita, Braun Felix, Schott Peter, Ramadori Giuliano

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To evaluate the potential of laparoscopy in the diagnosis of cirrhosis and outcome of interferon treatment in HCV-infected patients. METHODS: In this retrospective study, diagnostic laparoscopy with laparoscopic liver biopsy was performed in 72 consecutive patients with chronic HCV infection. The presence or absence of cirrhosis was analyzed macroscopically by laparoscopy and microscopically by liver biopsy...
