Hi, one important thing to check is your ALT levels at the time of the FibroScan. Active inflammation can temporarily increase liver stiffness measurements, making the result look worse than it actually is. If your ALT was elevated, it might be worth repeating the scan later when inflammation subsides.

That being said, your CAP score suggests significant fat accumulation. Fat can decrease quickly with weight loss, but fibrosis takes longer to improve.

You're on the right track by losing weight and avoiding alcohol. Keep monitoring your blood sugar levels, stay active, and consider repeating a FibroScan in 6–12 months to see real improvement.

Have you checked your ALT levels recently? A decrease in ALT could indicate reduced inflammation, which might help in assessing your liver’s recovery. It is very important to know what the ALT level was immediately before the fibroscan for the correct interpretation of the data.

As for your Kpa level, improvement is possible, but it depends on the extent of fibrosis. If significant scar tissue has already formed, the process of reversal can take longer.

Maintaining good blood sugar control and weight loss is crucial, and you're on the right track. However, to objectively assess progress, it would be best to repeat the FibroScan in 6–12 months.

Not what you're looking for?
