My result was 75kpa. I know that's bad and the highest score I could get but what does it mean for my future. I have severe cirrhosis caused by alcohol.

As far as i am aware, the fibroscan measures the stiffness of the liver; i have some experience re such a high score; umm you would need to talk to your specialist; have they not told you whether your liver is compensated or decompensated? So is it functioning reasonably ok, and what are all your symptoms?

[acjb007 in reply to susieanna]

It's well compensated. No symptoms. The doctor said it could be down to what I ate that morning and other factors.

You must be joking !!!

I see ; good news if no symptoms and well compensated; if alcohol has played any part in your liver condition, stopping is essential however; that way, no more damage can be done and things should stabilise and maybe improve a bit ; if alcohol not the cause, you will obviously have to talk to your consultant. Good luck!
