A retrospective study in Germany involving 125 AIH patients reported that those who failed to achieve complete biochemical remission exhibited an increasing trend in LS values (+1.7%/year; P =0.19), while a significant decrease in LS was observed in the complete biochemical remission group (–7.5%/year), indicating that fibrosis regression can be monitored by VCTE [ 567 ].
