Introduction of Fibroscan
It is one non-invasive test helpful in assessing your liver’s health. Specifically, it uses ultrasound technology that helps determine the degree of scarring or fibrosis in your liver from various conditions or diseases. The information is helpful to your gastroenterologist to optimize and individualize your treatment plan.
When do you need Fibroscan?
Your physician may recommend a FibroScan test if you have one of the following chronic liver conditions:
- Non-alcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH) fatty liver
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Hepatitis C
- Hepatitis B
- Genetic diseases
- Cirrhosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
Preparation for test
Fibroscan takes about 15 minutes to complete, and it is not a painful procedure. Some gel will be placedbetween the ribs on your skin’s right side. A small probe will then move gently across your skin to analyze whether there is any fibrosis in your liver.
