Inquiry about the result of fibro scan.

[momoko]

when i underwent fibroscan, the the result was 14.14 which is alarming. I am quite worried. My doctor has asked me to reduce weight immediately. Ok if I reduce my weight, will the liver come back to normal.

Hi controlled weight loss of a period may well lessen those scores especially combined with exercise. What are we talking here? How overweight? Age comes into it-is there alcohol involved? Clearly the doctor thinks the weight is a major factor.

Hi,

If you had a reading of 14.14 on your fibroscan it would be advisable to ask for a repeat fasting fibroscan to see if there is any change. Who gave you your result?

You can also ask to be referred to a liver specialist who can further correctly advise and treat you.

Best wishes,
