FibroScan
FibroScan – Non-Invasive Liver Assessment
FibroScan is a painless, non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure liver stiffness and fat content. It helps in assessing liver fibrosis (scarring) and fatty liver disease without the need for liver biopsy.
Why is FibroScan Done?
- Evaluate liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
- Assess fatty liver disease
- Monitor chronic hepatitis B & C
- Track liver disease progression or improvement
Conditions Diagnosed Using FibroScan
- Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD & NASH)
- Liver Fibrosis & Cirrhosis
- Alcohol-related Liver Disease
- Chronic Hepatitis B & C
How is FibroScan Performed?
The test is performed by placing a probe on the skin over the liver. It sends painless vibrations that measure liver stiffness. The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
Benefits of FibroScan
- Completely non-invasive and painless
- Quick and accurate results
- No hospital admission required
- Safe alternative to liver biopsy
FibroScan plays a crucial role in early detection and management of liver diseases, helping prevent complications through timely treatment.
