Hi

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 .
HiMay 2019 I was 10.8 August 2020 9.8 March 2023 8.8
is ur kpa 8.8 now and is kpa the same as elf test
I doubt my elf test is down no elf a blood test or combination of certain blood tests signed off. I lost weight exercise take vit E also I have regular venesection
Yes 8.8 now
so kpa isn’t elf test
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
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
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.
