Your healthcare practitioner can use liver elastography, a non-invasive test, to assess the condition of your liver. Nothing is inserted within your body; therefore, it is non-invasive.

A kind of liver elastography is FibroScan. With the use of specialised ultrasound equipment called Fibroscan, you may assess the stiffness and fatty abnormalities in your liver. Your healthcare practitioner can better understand your liver illness thanks to these measurements.

Your physician may recommend a FibroScan test if you have one of the following chronic liver conditions:

No food or liquids (including water) for 3 hours prior to the procedure.

FibroScan results are provided instantly after the test. The healthcare professional performing your exam will provide you with a copy of your results at the end of your visit.
