Fibroscan on upper end of normal range? 6.7kpa

[Guitarlife91]

Recently got a Fibroscan with a median Score of 6.7kPA I think...that being in the normal range but still on the higher end does that mean I have some mild scarring? Mind you I have had abdominal pain for months now. Getting a follow up in May. My Cap was like 214 I believe.

It depends on what the underlying cause of your liver issue is as to where the kPa score lies on the score chart. 6.7 kPa for alcohol related liver issues might point to F1 fibrosis (which IS NOT scarring but the liver starting to produce fibrous tissue to try and protect cells from what ever is assaulting it). This is a completely reversible stage providing the attack on the liver is ceased or treated.
