Glycogen storage disease of the liver in a 42-month-old boy. The serum biochemical marker levels were as follows: AST to platelet ratio index (APRI), 1.5; AST to alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), 0.9; and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score, 0.1. a Two-dimensional shear-wave elastography (2D-SWE) showing diffuse hyperechoic parenchyma with 9.1 kPa liver stiffness value. b Histopathologic specimen showing diffuse enlargement of hepatocytes with clear cytoplasm and enlargement of the fibrotic portal tract with METAVIR score, F1
