Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and introduce a new diagnostic method diagnosing and controlling the effective treatment of hepatic steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes
into clinical practice. Materials and Methods. Ultrasound diagnostics (USD) of abdominal organs (AO) was performed in 949 patients with fatty liver disease according to Hamaguchi
criteria. The attenuation coefficient measurement (ACM) was realized in right and left lobes of the liver by Soneus P7 device (Ultrasign, Ukraine) with a 1-6 MHz convex transducer. Computer tomography (CT) data of AO in native phase and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) by Fibroscan (Echosens, France) were assessed in 142 patients for determining the diagnostic accuracy of ACM. Results. The study substantiates the expedience of ACM application in patients with hepatic steatosis. Conclusions. It is proved that ACM results are correlated with CT and CAP indices. ACM can be used as a new noninvasive method for diagnosing hepatic steatosis. This method allows to quantify the degree of steatosis progression.
