Aim. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of shear wave elastography for staging liver fibrosis in patients with diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.<\/p>\n

Results. Our study demonstrates an increase in liver stiffness in diabetic patients with hepatic steatosis (p < 0.05) . In the F0 + F1 subgroup, this increase was 49.6% . Our study has proven that transverse wave ultrasound elastography is a sufficiently informative method for determining the stages of liver fibrosis.<\/p>\n

Conclusion. Thus, elastography-based imaging techniques have the potential to substantially enhance both the screening and diagnostic evaluation of NAFLD in individuals with diabetes, thereby supporting more effective disease management . The Young\u2019s modulus value in the diagnosis of clinically significant fibrosis is 7.50 kPa.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/b><\/strong>nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, ultrasound, share wave elastometry, diagnostic value of the method, specificity, sensitivity.<\/p>\n
