FibroScan is a non-invasive medical test used to assess liver health, particularly liver stiffness and fatty changes. It works using transient elastography, a type of ultrasound, to measure the stiffness of the liver tissue. Increased stiffness can indicate fibrosis (scarring) or cirrhosis, while the fat content in the liver (steatosis) can also be assessed.
FibroScan is commonly used in managing chronic liver diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcoholic liver disease. It's a quick, painless alternative to a liver biopsy.
