What is FibroScan?

FibroScan is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic test used to assess the health of your liver, specifically its stiffness (fibrosis) and fat content (steatosis). It’s an alternative to liver biopsy and is widely used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases like fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hepatitis B and C,alcoholic liver disease, and liver cirrhosis.

How Does FibroScan Test Done?

FibroScan uses transient elastography – a technology that sends vibrations
and ultrasound waves through the liver.

  • Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM): Measures how stiff the liver is. Stiffness increases with fibrosis or scarring.
  • Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP): Evaluates the amount of fat in the liver, helping diagnose fatty liver disease.
The entire scan takes about 5–10 minutes, is done without needles, and provides immediate results.

Doctors Recommend FibroScan to:

  • Detect fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH)
  • Assess liver fibrosis or cirrhosis
  • Monitor chronic hepatitis B or C
  • Evaluate liver damage in alcohol-related liver disease
  • Replace or reduce the need for liver biopsy

Advantages of FibroScan

  • Non-invasive & Painless
  • Quick & Outpatient Procedure
  • Immediate Results
  • No Recovery Time
  • Safe for Repeated Monitoring
  • Suitable for most patients, including those with blood clotting disorders or fear of biopsy

Whom FibroScan May Not Be Suitable

  • Patients with ascites (fluid in the abdomen)
  • Very obese patients (though XL probes are available)
  • Pregnant women (use with caution)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal Fibroscan reading?
A normal Fibroscan reading typically indicates healthy liver stiffness, usually in the range of 2–6 kPa. Values above this may suggest varying degrees of liver fibrosis, but exact interpretation depends on the patient’s medical history and other tests.
Yes, it is generally recommended to fast for 2–3 hours before a Fibroscan test. This helps improve accuracy, as a full stomach or recent meal can affect liver stiffness measurements.
A Fibroscan exam is a non-invasive procedure that measures liver stiffness and fat content using ultrasound-based technology. It helps assess liver fibrosis and steatosis, providing important information for diagnosing liver diseases without the need for a biopsy.
