Fibroscan

Your Liver’s Health, In Just Minutes

What is FibroScan?

FibroScan is a non-invasive and painless test that evaluates liver health by measuring liver stiffness (fibrosis) and fat content (steatosis). It serves as a safe alternative to liver biopsy and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH), hepatitis B and C, alcoholic liver disease, and cirrhosis.

How is the FibroScan Test Done?

FibroScan uses transient elastography, which combines vibrations and ultrasound waves to assess the liver:
  • Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM): Measures how stiff the liver is. Stiffness increases with fibrosis or scarring.
  • Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP): Evaluates the amount of fat in the liver, helping diagnose fatty liver disease.
The entire scan takes about 5–10 minutes, is done without needles, and provides immediate results.

Who Should Get a FibroScan?

  • Detect fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH)
  • Assess liver fibrosis or cirrhosis
  • Monitor chronic hepatitis B or C
  • Evaluate alcohol-related liver damage
  • Replace or reduce the need for liver biopsy

Advantages of FibroScan

  • Non-invasive & Painless
  • Quick & Outpatient Procedure
  • Immediate Results
  • No Recovery Time
  • Safe for Repeated Monitoring
  • Suitable for most patients, including those with blood clotting disorders or fear of biopsy

Who May Not Be Suitable for FibroScan?

  • Patients with ascites (fluid in the abdomen)
  • Severely obese patients (though XL probes are available)
  • Pregnant women (use with caution)

What is a normal Fibroscan reading?
A normal Fibroscan reading typically indicates healthy liver stiffness, suggesting minimal or no fibrosis. However, results may vary depending on age, body type, and underlying liver condition, so interpretation by a specialist is essential.
Yes, fasting for at least 2–3 hours before a Fibroscan is usually recommended. This helps ensure accurate results by reducing interference from recent food intake or abdominal gas.
A Fibroscan exam is a non-invasive test that measures liver stiffness using ultrasound-based technology. It helps detect liver fibrosis or fatty liver disease quickly and painlessly, without the need for a biopsy.
