The Steatosis grade is based on a CAP score which measures your liver on a decibel per meter range from 100 to 400 dB/m. The higher the CAP score, the fattier change your liver has undergone.
The Fibrosis grade measures your liver’s stiffness and scarring level. Your healthcare specialist will combine your FibroScan® results and medical history to determine a Fibrosis grade. The range of Fibrosis grades is as follows:
FibroScan® exams are safe, accurate and convenient, and you can use them for identifying and evaluating a wide range of liver conditions and diseases.
Your doctor may request a FibroScan® exam to reveal more insights about your liver than standard blood tests and biopsies can do. FibroScan® offers an in-depth view of your liver which will help you and your health specialist develop a customized treatment plan suited perfectly for you.
You can expect results back in less than 10 minutes after completing your exam.
