FibroScan®: A Modern Approach to Liver Health
What is Fibroscan®?
FibroScan® is a fast, non-invasive, and FDA-cleared diagnostic tool that evaluates liver stiffness and fat content. It’s commonly used to monitor patients at risk for liver conditions such as Hepatitis B & C, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), and Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.
Who Might Need a FibroScan®?
A FibroScan may be recommended for patients with:
- Fatty liver linked to diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or PCOS
- Alcohol-related liver disease
- Chronic alcohol use
- Hepatitis B or C
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Primary biliary cholangitis
- Abnormal liver function tests
- Unexplained liver abnormalities (e.g., K76.9 diagnosis code)
- Suspicious findings on GI imaging
How the Test Works
Before the Scan:
Patients lie comfortably on their back with their right arm raised.
During the Scan:
A small probe is placed on the skin, delivering a gentle vibration to measure liver stiffness and fat levels.
Instant Results Include:
- Fibrosis Score: >8.5 kPa may suggest significant liver scarring
- CAP Score: >300 dB/m may indicate fat buildup in the liver
Why Choose FibroScan®?
- Quick & Comfortable: The scan is non-invasive and takes about 10 minutes.
- Early Detection: Identifies liver damage before symptoms appear.
- Informed Treatment: Results support personalized care plans.
- Biopsy Alternative: Reduces the need for invasive liver biopsies.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Ideal for tracking liver health over time.
