Hi I managed to lower mine from 75kpa to 29kpa over the past few years. It is possible. I did it on a plant-based diet & lots of natural supplements. I wish you well .

[Iro1 in reply to Bettina2023]

Yes 8.8 now

[Bettina2023 in reply to Iro1]

so kpa isn’t elf test

[AyrshireK in reply to Bettina2023]

No, kPa score is calculated by fibroscan whereas ELF test is a specific blood test to calculate if there is enhanced liver fibrosis.

my elf is 9.36 do u know if I have fibrosis but not advanced because it isn’t 10.5 and above. I drank daily but stopped at Christmas and I feel I’m not having much support

[AyrshireK in reply to Bettina2023]

These are the NICE guidelines for ELF test and NAFLD.NICE suggest that:

consider using the enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test in people who have been diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to test for advanced liver fibrosis

do not use routine liver blood tests to assess for advanced liver fibrosis in people with NAFLD

diagnose people with advanced liver fibrosis if they have:

an ELF score of 10.51 or above

and NAFLD

refer adults and young people diagnosed with advanced liver fibrosis to a relevant specialist in hepatology

explain to people with an ELF score below 10.51 that:

they are unlikely to have advanced liver fibrosis

and reassessment for advanced liver fibrosis every 3 years for adults and every 2 years for children and young people is sufficient for regular monitoring

and no interim tests are needed

offer retesting for advanced liver fibrosis for people with an ELF score below 10.51:

every 3 years to adults

every 2 years to children and young people

consider using ELF for retesting people with advanced liver fibrosis

9.36 is not too bad

[Dolly1001]

yes indeed! I have been gifted a reversal from F3 with a high KPA, to F0 and a KPA of 4.

So, how did it happen? No plonk! tidied up eating habits, dealt with that strange word known as exercise!

Didn’t happen overnight, I was aiming to stop deterioration, the reversal came as a shock to Hepatologists, other staff in Hepatology. Me also!

So, I don’t have a magic cure, all I can say is - it’s possible, very possible to reduce damage AND prevent further damage.

Simply by doing the above.
