Fibroscan results what do they mean I'm confused

[Crunchi]

Had my results back everything seems fine except the iqr was 110 don't know if this number is good or bad does anyone know what this number represents

The only scores that reflect results on fibroscan would be the median CAP score (amount of fat in liver) and kPa score (how fibrous is liver tissue).

Thank you for your reply, my CAP was 241 and my kPa was 5.6 I'm not seeing my specialist doctor until June so I'm just hoping that these numbers are ok. Why would it say iqr number on the left side of CAP if its not important. Just a bit confused because I have no one to speak to about this until June

The IQR refers to the Interquartile Range and is the spread of results which helps doctors to identify likely accuracy of the overall result.

The CAP and kPa are the only scores that matter to you and it looks like yours arn't too bad. You can read up about how to understand your fibroscan score at:- mskcc.org/cancer-care/patie...
