FibroScan: A Non-Invasive Tool to Assess Liver Health FibroScan, also known as transient elastography, is a modern, non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess liver stiffness and fat content. It plays a crucial role in evaluating liver conditions such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH) without the need for a painful liver biopsy. The FibroScan device uses ultrasound-based technology to send a pulse of energy into the liver. It measures how quickly this pulse travels through the liver tissue—stiffer tissue (due to scarring or fibrosis) transmits the wave faster. The results are displayed in kilopascals (kPa), which help doctors understand the degree of fibrosis or liver damage. In addition, the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) measures liver fat levels. FibroScan is commonly recommended for patients with chronic liver diseases such as: Hepatitis B and C Alcoholic liver disease Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Cirrhosis Autoimmune hepatitis Advantages of FibroScan: Quick (5–10 minutes) Painless and needle-free No downtime or anesthesia required Safe and repeatable for monitoring liver health over time It is especially useful in tracking the progression or improvement of liver conditions and evaluating response to treatment. For patients with risk factors like obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, or long-term alcohol use, FibroScan is a valuable screening tool. Conclusion: FibroScan has revolutionized liver diagnostics by offering a safe, accurate, and non-invasive alternative to liver biopsy. Early detection of liver fibrosis or fatty changes allows for timely medical intervention, lifestyle modifications, and better long-term outcomes. If you have risk factors or chronic liver disease, speak to your doctor about whether FibroScan is right for you. Consult us today.👇 Contact Us📞 +91 7303055137 Email:care.cure.clinic.2020@gmail.com
