Liver disease often develops silently, long before you feel unwell.
Liver disease is becoming increasingly common and often develops silently over many years. Most people with early liver disease feel completely well and may have no symptoms until the condition has become more advanced.
Early diagnosis provides the opportunity to identify the underlying cause, prevent further liver damage and, in many cases, improve or even reverse early liver disease. FibroScan gives valuable information about the health of your liver within minutes.
Unlike a conventional ultrasound scan, FibroScan measures:
Liver stiffness
Reflects the amount of liver scarring, a key indicator of liver health.
Liver fat
Helps assess fatty liver disease (MASLD) and overall liver function.
Simple, painless and non-invasive. The examination usually takes only a few minutes and requires no needles or sedation.
A scan result is only one part of the picture.
The same reading can have very different implications depending on your medical history, blood tests, medications and individual risk factors. For this reason, every FibroScan is combined with a specialist hepatology consultation.
Rather than simply receiving a number, you will receive a clear explanation of what your results mean, whether any further investigations are required and, most importantly, what should happen next. Our aim is to give every patient confidence, clarity and a personalised plan.
