Figure 2. Effect of age and sickle genotype on a) Transient Elastography value and b) ELF score.
In Figure 2a, the area above horizontal limit line indicates abnormal Transient Elastography value [(≥7.66kPa; Friedrich–Rust et al (2008)]. In Figure 2b, the area above the horizontal limit line indicates abnormal enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF)score - current presence of fibrosis [≥9.8; Lichtinhagen et al (2013)].
