Good stuff, Steff. They should have mentioned that up to 60% of cirrhotics get some resolution after SVR. Depending on the thickness of the fibrous septae, patients may drop from F4 to F3 in 2 years, both on biosy and fibroscan.
If this turns out to be reliable it would be a brilliant tool for people who either do not wish to do the currently available treatments or have not responded to them.
