To the Editor,Liver transplantation(LT)is the only curative therapy for patients with end‐stage liver disease.1 Due to the high incidence of metabolic syndrome after LT,nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has gradually become an essential cause of post‐LT fibrosis.2 Liver fibrosis can progress to liver cirrhosis and carries the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which adversely affects long‐term survival after LT.3,4 Early detection and active intervention for liver fibrosis after LT are crucial in LT recipients.Previous studies have confirmed that transient elastography(TE)could accurately detect liver fibrosis in LT recipients by comparing TE with liver biopsy.
