Magnetic resonance elastography in the detection of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with cirrhosis and ascites

Objective Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is the most lethal cause of renal impairment in cirrhosis. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a diagnostic test that characterises tissues based on their biomechanical properties. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of MRE for detecting HRS...
