To assess liver and spleen stiffness measurement using Shear Wave Elastography-SWE and evaluate liver and spleen fibrosis in patients with Gaucher Disease. To compare the elastography with the biomarkers that taken at the GD haematology clinic and to check the correlation with severity of liver and spleen fibrosis. SWE is a safe with diagnostic accuracy regarding the liver (& Spleen) fibrosis. Estimating spleen fibrosis is an innovative approach in liver disease and Gaucher. The evaluation of fibrosis with this relatively new and safe method could avoid complications and invasive procedure in GD patients .
