Food consumption can impact Fibroscan results. Did you properly fast before the Fibroscan?

When I had my scan I was instructed no food or drink for four hours before the scan. I could only have a small portion of water. Food consumption temporarily increases liver stiffness readings. I do not know if that is what happened in your specific circumstance you may have to consult with your physician to see why they think the kPA increased. If I may ask why were you having th scan done? Alcohol consumption could also be a contributing factor.
