Liver stiffness assessed by real-time two-dimensional shear wave elastography predicts hypersplenism in patients with Wilson’s disease: a prospective study

Table 3 Incidence of hypersplenism in the subgroups with different liver stiffness

Groups	Liver stiffness measured by 2D-SWE	Incidence of hypersplenism	The median time of hypersplenism occurrence (month)	χ²	P
High-risk group	≥ 10.45 kPa	57.9% (22/38)	15	22.296	< 0.001
Low-risk group	< 10.45 kPa	13.5% (7/52)	22
