Fibrocscan results

[Nixxysarge1]

Hi all. Thought I’d give an update after my previous few posts. Fibroscan results were good, 4.9 KPA - which I’m amazed at after my drinking history. Was told by the specialist to ignore my slightly elevated AST and to not bother keep testing it. Most likely muscle damage from the very physical job I have.

Guessing I’m one of the lucky ones.

Thanks all for your help. I think I’m going to hang around like I have been for the last few years, I do follow this forum as it serves as a reminder why I’m sober now. I’m aware I have no experience with Liver conditions as such, but I do have experience with alcohol abstinence and if I could pass on any help/advice on to anyone then I will.

Finally, Id like to say that Dr Cobbold at Manor Hospital in Oxford (where I went for private Fibroscan) was absolutely brilliant if anyone is on the fence about going.

Thanks again,

Nick.

hi

Just wondering if you got a CAP score for your fibroscan as well as the kPa score of 4.9.

The CAP score measures the amount of fat in your liver. When I had a fibroscan I was given both scores. The kPa was low like yours indicating no fibrosis but my CAP score was 275 indicating moderate fatty liver.

I did not drink much so was told I had NAFLD so gave it up and am addressing the fatty liver by diet and losing weight.

It might be useful to know your CAP score too.

Best Wishes

Hi!

I have my results at home, will have to decipher what is what. But I know my CAP was low as the first comment the specialist made whilst doing the scan was ‘Great, no fat’ so I focused more on my KPA.
