Staging of fibrosis in chronic liver disease is important for prognosis and treatment planning. Liver biopsy is the gold standard in fibrosis assessment; however, new methods for fibrosis and stiffness measurement exist which have not been evaluated in patients with Wilson's disease. To evaluate the accuracy of collagen proportionate area (CPA), transient elastography and shear wave elastography (SWE) in the assessment of liver fibrosis in adult patients with Wilson's disease.
