An AVS-first, imaging-second approach could have avoided CT/MRI in 43% of patients. At a high volume, experienced center, performing AVS first on patients with PA may reduce unnecessary cross-sectional imaging studies.
Activated HSCs significantly amplify the response to liver injury, further expanding this cell type's repertoire in orchestrating hepatic injury and repair.
