I had a Fibroscan A few month’s ago . I was told I have severe fatty liver with no scarring. My numbers were CAP 297 and KPA 4.8. Can anyone help me understand what those numbers mean?

Kpa 4,8 means that your liver is healthy.
Some not so good news and some good news.
Your CAP score of 297 puts you into the most severe bracket of fatty liver which I presume from your profile name you already know.
kPa of 4.8 though is good though and shows you currently have no fibrosis.
There is a good page for 'Understanding your Fibroscan' at :- (ignore the issue of it being a cancer site that has nothing to do with it). mskcc.org/cancer-care/patie...
You obviously need to see what can be done as regards reversing your fatty liver before there is any deterioration to your liver.

Thank you. This may be a strange question but is there any way to get the fat out of my liver or does it stay this way and I make changes so it does not get worse? The link in your comment does not work by the way.
You should look up the British Liver Trust page on NAFLD and there is guidance on there on steps you can take to help your fatty liver disease. britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...
When you say the link doesn't work - what do you get? I know when I click on it you get the health unlocked re-direct page -

Check out the advice on British Liver Trust page for Non-Alcohol Related Fatty Liver Disease at:- britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...
Also, they have recently released details of studies about the benefits of a Mediterranean Style diet for Fatty Liver - britishlivertrust.org.uk/ea...
All of which tallies with the advice that SevereFattyLiver has also posted.
