4 years post transplant and now a fibro scan of happy liver

Received a Liver Transplant 12/2017. 4 years later ... Life has been good. However, today I go to my Hepatologist for a Fibro scan of my Happy Liver. Checking for Fiberosous. Fibro scan is similar to Ultra Scan but it is supposed to give better image. Saying a prayer all good. I feel good with the exception of a Knee that is bone on bone. They have agreed to lower the anti rejection drugs in order to help me with healing after I have a knee replacement on April 1. I'll keep posting. Thank you and prayers for all struggling on this site.

Hi Meme,

A FibroScan estimates any stiffening or scarring in your liver so is a useful test to have. We hope the scan goes well and keep us posted :)
