Distribution of LSM values according to fibrosis stage in patients with CHB (A) and CHC (B). The median LSM value was 5.4 kPa (range, 3.7-15.3) in fibrosis stage F0F1; 6.8 kPa (range, 4.1-58.2) in F2; 8.1 kPa (range, 5.7-11.8) in F3; and 14.3 kPa (range, 5.1-73.5) in F4 in patients with CHB. In those with CHC, it was 4.5 kPa (range, 3.3-10.2) in F0F1; 6.3 kPa (range, 3.5-42.2) in F2; 10.4 kPa (range, 7.1-17.3) in F3; and 26.6 kPa (range, 11.5-67.8) in F4. LSM, liver stiffness measurement; CHB, chronic hepatitis B; CHC, chronic hepatitis C; kPa, kilopascal.
