Liver Scan (FibroScan): A Non-Invasive Revolution in Liver Health – Now at Almoosa Clinics

Your liver is one of the most important organs in your body, performing over 500 essential functions. But liver disease often progresses silently. Early detection is key — and that’s where FibroScan at Almoosa Clinics comes in.

What is a FibroScan?

FibroScan (Transient Elastography) is a non-invasive, pain-free test that measures liver stiffness. It helps detect:

• Liver fibrosis (scarring)
• Liver steatosis (fatty liver)

Unlike a liver biopsy, FibroScan is fast, safe, and does not require anesthesia or recovery time.

Why Choose FibroScan?

• Non-Invasive and Painless: No needles, no sedation, and no downtime.
• Fast and Accurate: Takes less than 10 minutes with immediate results.
• Early Detection: Helps catch liver conditions like NAFLD, Hepatitis B/C, cirrhosis, and more.
• Track Progress: Monitor liver health during and after treatment.

How Does FibroScan Work?

FibroScan uses a special ultrasound probe to send vibrations through your liver. The speed of these waves indicates tissue stiffness:

• Slower waves = softer tissue (healthy)
• Faster waves = stiffer tissue (possible fibrosis or cirrhosis)

The result is expressed in kilopascals (kPa) for fibrosis and CAP score for fat content.

Who Should Get a FibroScan?

Consider getting a FibroScan if you:

• Have elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
• Are overweight, diabetic, or have metabolic syndrome
• Suffer from Hepatitis B or C
• Drink alcohol regularly
• Have a family history of liver disease

Early screening can prevent irreversible liver damage.
