Guys. i just had a fibroscan based on my elevated liver enzymes (less than double of top range)
Fibroscan results: 143 CAP score, 75 kPa reading, 6.3 IQR/med
Interpretation:
CAP value is consistent with no steatosis, S0
Fibroscan demonstrated kPa consistent with Metavir of F4, suggesting cirrhosis
FIB-4 is consistent with absence of advance fibrosis.
disgestive specialist said, this is inconcluive and he recommends biopsy. I am not conviced i need a biopsy. he did mention MRE. What do you guys think?
Additional info: 6'1", 175 lbs. skinny build with slight belly. non diabetic. only had a history of high cholesterol and triglycerides which has been managed in range in medication Lipitor and fenofibrate.
Bonus question; anyone experienced with fenofibrate? i noticed since i started it back in 2015, my kidney GFR dropped by 30 points and been in 60s for all these years which puts me at stage 2 CKD. I am in process of stopping it for few months and do another kidney tests to see if cretinine levels go down a bit.
