ELF test

[Amy190]

hi all,

If you see my previous liver posts I’ve had varying fibroscan scores, mostly overestimated because of my BMI. Lost a ton of weight and got it down to 7.2-7.5. Had another recently after regaining most of the weight and the score is up to 10KPA. Had an ultrasound in March this year and liver CNS said ultrasound was not reflective of a fibroscan score of 10. Even though ultrasound is not diagnostic of fibrosis, she said you would see some damage or coarseness on the liver surface or edges with a score of 10.

Anyway, I had an ELF test done (attached) and the cut off is 9.8 and mine has come back at 9.7. Does this mean I could have F1/F2. I am obviously right at the top end, but I assume I’ve got some scarring going on with that score.
