No one here is qualified to explain test results, you need to contact your doctor to get a full explaination

Hi,

The Fib4 score is usually calculated by a doctor looking at the patients age, ALT, AST and platelet blood test results.

We would suggest that you consider contacting your consultant and ask for interpretation of your result. It is important that you discuss this with your own doctor as they have access to your results and are best placed to safely advise you.

Kind regards
