Diagnostic performance of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers for predicting portal hypertension in children and young adults with autoimmune liver disease.

MRI-derived measures of liver and spleen stiffness as well as laboratory-based APRI and FIB-4 scores are highly associated with imaging findings of portal hypertension in children and young adults with AILD and thus might be useful for predicting portal hypertension impending onset and directing personalized patient management.
