Fibro scan price

[Jaja12]

Hi any one know how much a fibro scan cost or where I can compare them in uk

Are you under a hospital consultant for your fatty liver disease? Your posts are all only one line so we don't really know your story but your doctor should be able to refer you for a fibroscan on the NHS to get a proper picture of what is going on with your liver.

Hi my bloods are high gp not doing anything at moment thanks

[AyrshireK in reply to Jaja12]

If your bloods are high (ALT, AST, GGT) then fibroscan would possibly be totally inaccurate just now since it can't differentiate between inflammation and actual fibrous tissue.

Who came up with the diagnosis of fatty liver disease? How firm is that diagnosis? There are all sort of liver illnesses that can cause elevated levels. Your GP should be referring you to at minimum a gastroenterologist to assess and follow up why your bloods are elevated.

Hi my gp said I had fatty liver years back lost weight had scan showed fatty liver.bloods r slightly raised still feel dull discomfort.was thinking to get a fibro scan as it’s worrying me as gp not doing much as they say bloods are slightly raised

I’ve had NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease) for about 14 years and on various meds. Do you know what your actual readings are now? Slightly raised isn’t anything to worry about, honestly. My results are all double what they should be and that’s on meds, but that’s my stable state now. I’m sure you doctor would refer you if there was anything to worry about. I would expect yearly blood tests though to check.

I think fibroscan is needed ---when i had mine it showed high results and had to have liver biopsy which showed I had nash liver disease ---they call it the silent killer .I was told I had fatty liver about ten years ago but no follow up and not told how serious it can be

May I ask where u got ur fibro scan from?im in England

[confused71 in reply to Jaja12]

I had mine done in hospital and if they ever refuse me at least once a year i will pay for one privately the price i was quoted was 450 but its worth it for peace of mind -- in london its about 700

[Jaja12 in reply to confused71]

Where was you quoted £450?

anything between £500 for basic consult and fibroscan to £1200 for a full private liver assessment.

I paid the latter at the Royal Free London.
