Are you experiencing unexplained fatigue, abdominal discomfort, or at risk of fatty liver disease?
A quick FibroScan test can measure liver stiffness and detect fatty liver at an early stage.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert hepatologists use advanced FibroScan technology to detect liver damage early and help you protect your liver before complications develop.
What is FibroScan?
FibroScan is a revolutionary, non-invasive diagnostic test that evaluates liver stiffness (fibrosis) and fat levels (steatosis) without the need for a liver biopsy.
It uses shear wave elastography, where painless sound waves are sent through the liver to measure its stiffness and fat content. The test is quick (5–10 minutes), painless, radiation-free, and gives instant results, making it a preferred choice for both patients and doctors.
FibroScan is widely used to detect and monitor:
- Fatty liver disease (NAFLD and NASH)
- Hepatitis B and C
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
- Autoimmune and metabolic liver disorders
Why is a FibroScan Test Done?
Doctors recommend FibroScan to:
- Detect liver fibrosis (scarring) and steatosis (fat accumulation)
- Monitor progression of chronic liver diseases over time
- Evaluate response to ongoing treatments for hepatitis, NASH, or cirrhosis
- Avoid invasive liver biopsy whenever possible
- Screen high-risk individuals (obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, heavy alcohol use)
Conditions Where FibroScan is Useful
Your doctor may advise a FibroScan if you have or are at risk of:
- Fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH)
- Alcohol-related liver disease
- Chronic hepatitis B or C infection
- Cirrhosis or advanced liver fibrosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Metabolic syndrome, obesity, or type 2 diabetes-related liver issues
How to Prepare for a FibroScan
To ensure accurate results, follow these simple steps:
- Fasting: Avoid food and drinks (except water) for 2–3 hours before the test
- Medication: Continue regular medicines unless advised otherwise by your doctor
- Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothes for easy access to your right upper abdomen
- Bring previous liver test reports for comparison
No injections, sedation, or hospitalization are required.
How the FibroScan Test is Done
- You will lie comfortably on your back with your right arm raised
- A water-based gel is applied on the skin over the liver area
- A small handheld probe is placed on your skin to send painless vibrations into the liver
- The machine measures how fast the waves pass through the liver to calculate liver stiffness and fat content
The entire test takes about 5–10 minutes and you can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
