Description

Yan Huang leads a 2026 study on judging liver scarring in autoimmune hepatitis. A stiffness scan often helps grade scarring. But active inflammation can stiffen the liver too. That mix-up can mislead doctors who rely on one scan value.

Records came from 86 patients who had both a biopsy and a stiffness scan. Biopsy set the true scarring stage. Patients were split by how strong their inflammation was. The scan worked far better in the mild group than in the severe group. A correction model built from these data improved accuracy. Sorting patients by inflammation first should make scan results safer to trust.
