Abstract

Aim: Chronic liver disease is one of the most important public health problems in both developed and developing countries. It hasbeen reported that testicular atrophy may occur in these patients. The aim of this study is to demonstrate changes in testicularstructure and elasticity due to hypogonadism secondary to chronic liver disease (CLD) by shear wave elastography (SWE).Material and Methods: Eighteen patients aged 22-50 years were included in the study. The control group consisted of 16 participantsaged 17-52 years. In all patients and in the control group; first scrotal gray scale and doppler US examination were performed todetermine the presence of focal lesions and structural anomalies in both testicles, then the mean testicular shear wave velocityvalues (SWVV) in the parenchyma was calculated. Testicular volumes and testicular arterial flow indices (Vmax, RI) were recorded.Results: The results of 34 participants (patient and control groups) were examined; There was no significant difference betweenvolumetric measurements, flow indices and SWVQ values between the two groups. In addition, right testicular arterial Vmax valueswere lower in the patient group than in the control group (p
