Fibroscan (Liver Stiffness Test) in Faridabad
Fibroscan is a painless, non-invasive scan that measures liver stiffness and fat content to assess fatty liver and fibrosis without needing a liver biopsy.
Who Should Get a Fibroscan
- Patients with fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH) on ultrasound
- Hepatitis B or C carriers monitoring liver health
- Individuals with abnormal liver function tests
- Patients with known cirrhosis needing follow-up staging
- Regular/heavy alcohol consumers
Why Fibroscan Instead of Biopsy
Fibroscan gives an immediate liver stiffness reading in minutes, is completely painless, has no recovery time, and can be repeated safely to track disease progression — unlike a liver biopsy.
What Happens During the Test
A probe is placed on the skin over the liver; sound waves measure how fast they travel through liver tissue (stiffer liver = more fibrosis). The test takes about 10 minutes with results available immediately.
