FibroScan® Is Available Here: Protect Your Liver, Detect Changes Early
Your liver plays a vital role in keeping your body healthy, but liver disease can sometimes develop without obvious symptoms. Conditions such as fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis, and liver fibrosis may progress silently over time.
The good news is that FibroScan® is now available at Abu Hammour Gastroenterology Center in Dubai Healthcare City, providing a non-invasive way to assess important aspects of liver health.
What Is FibroScan®?
FibroScan® is a non-invasive liver assessment technology that helps evaluate liver stiffness and liver fat.
Unlike a traditional liver biopsy, FibroScan® does not require a needle or tissue sample. The examination is quick and generally comfortable, making it a useful tool for assessing and monitoring patients with various liver conditions.
Why Is Liver Health Important?
The liver can be affected by several conditions, including:
Fatty liver disease
Chronic hepatitis B and C
Liver fibrosis
Cirrhosis
Alcohol-related liver disease
Metabolic conditions associated with liver fat
Some people may have liver changes without experiencing noticeable symptoms. This is why early assessment and regular monitoring can be important, particularly for people with risk factors for liver disease.
What Can FibroScan® Assess?
FibroScan® can provide information about:
Liver Stiffness
Liver stiffness measurements can help healthcare professionals assess the likelihood and extent of liver fibrosis (scarring).
Liver Fat
FibroScan® can also assess liver fat, which can be useful when evaluating conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The results can help your gastroenterologist determine whether further evaluation or monitoring may be appropriate.
Who May Benefit From a FibroScan®?
Your gastroenterologist may recommend a FibroScan® if you have:
Fatty liver or suspected fatty liver
Abnormal liver enzymes
Chronic hepatitis
Risk factors for liver disease
A history of liver disease
Concerns about liver fibrosis or cirrhosis
A need for ongoing liver disease monitoring
Whether FibroScan® is appropriate for you depends on your individual medical history and clinical assessment.
