Defining values for controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness in youth without liver disease.

The reference values indicated in this study for liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) will help in the screening of adolescents between ages 12 and 19.9 years in clinical practice. The cutoffs of LSM and CAP might serve as a useful method for identifying those youth at high risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
