As you can see, there are various scales , depending upon your reason for having cirrhosis. Yo need to look at that reason scale, and perhaps your Dr. Can help you interpret it.

You really need to see your doctor to get a clinical diagnosis based on your results. Fibroscan isn't without it's faults and can give overly high readings dependent on your body weight and various other factors ............... diagnosis should only be given by your doctor who will have you, all your blood test results and scan results together inorder to formulate a diagnosis. None of us are medics and shouldn't give out any sort of medical diagnosis.

Wishing you all the very best, Katie

I agree you need to see your Dr, or consultant.

Hi there! I didn't see any scoring like that when I had mine done , but as katie and Bermuda said there are so many different reasons and scores for each of us. Best is to ask your consultant 😊.best wishes Linda
