The development and validation of non-invasive tools for assessing liver stiffness and fibrosis are gaining momentum, providing alternatives to traditional biopsy.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Liver Biopsy Techniques:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focused on conventional liver biopsy techniques as non-invasive methods gain favor for diagnosing liver diseases. - Acute Liver Failure Studies:
Research specifically targeting acute liver failure has waned, possibly due to the increasing focus on chronic liver diseases and their long-term management. - Alcohol-Related Liver Disease Studies:
The frequency of publications solely addressing alcohol-related liver disease has decreased, which may reflect a broader shift toward understanding metabolic and multifactorial liver diseases. - Hepatitis E Research:
Interest in hepatitis E research appears to be declining, with fewer studies published in recent years as other liver diseases gain more attention.
