Hi 2 weeks ago I had a fibroscan I have the results but I don't understand what the numbers mean.I have been seeing a specialist for a year now because my liver levels keep rising and have been for the last 3 years. It was recommended I have a fibroscan. I'm not seeing the specialist until June so it's really frustrating not knowing anything about my results would really appreciate it if anyone can inform about what these numbers mean please

less than 6 kpa is generally considered normal. KPA measures fibrosis or stiffness of the liver. The CAP score measures the amount of fat in the liver. It ranges from 100 to 400 I believe. The IQR is the variance in the 10 measurements. Generally anything less than 30% is considered a valid reading

Hi thank you for your response do you know what the IQR 110 means this number seems very high compared to other scan results
