Measure
Test
Any pediatric patient (0-18 years of age) with known liver disease in whom a liver biopsy is to be performed as standard of care to assess the degree of fibrosis will also undergo an abdominal ultrasound to evaluate the liver. Underlying diagnoses include but are not limited to biliary atresia, congenital fibrosis-cholestasis, Alagille syndrome, Caroli's disease, choledochal cyst, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), viral hepatitis, glycogenosis, fructosemia, Wilson disease, cystic fibrosis, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPCKD), mesenterico-caval shunt, post liver transplant, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Shear wave sonoelastography: Sonoelastography is to be performed on the liver.
Control
Any pediatric patient (0-18 years of age) undergoing evaluation with an abdominal ultrasound as standard of care for evaluation for a diagnosis other than liver disease and in whom the US shows a normal liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and biliary tree will then be asked to enroll in the research study by undergoing shear wave elastography. Shear wave sonoelastography: Sonoelastography is to be performed on the liver.
