fibroscan

hi im off for first fibroscan on tuesday was told 8yr ago got pbc normal scans ok does anyone no what the score is for results

[gwillistexas]

I googled "score rating for fibroscan ". You'll find normal/ not normal 😊

[gwillistexas]

Correction..."score chart for fibroscan "

[Hidden]

I had one anything over 12.5 is Cirrhosis.

The fibro scan score card readings range from 0 - 75. The average persons normal range i believe is 5.3. The starting number for each stage including cirrhosis is different depending on what disease you have. I tried to post the card but Iam not very good on this device but it's easy to find if you google it.

What should be remembered is that any damage to the liver fibrosis/cirrhosis is not total, there is a broader picture of how your liver is functioning. So try not to fixate too much on the number alone your doctors will take all your other results into account. Good luck with the scan hope it goes well and try not to worry.

They told me at the scan. I was a 4 on a 1 to 4 scale, 4 being cirrhosis, luckily decompensated at this time

I had one last week and thankfully it came back normal 5.7. I was told there and then by the nurse. I also asked to look at the screen, she explained all the info on there. Just ask if they don't tell you. She did pre warn me before the scan, that given my very high lft numbers to expect there to be some damage but there was none, so bloods don't necessarily relate to liver damage. From what I saw on scoring >7 is indicative of damage. Good luck x

thanks xx

[gwillistexas in reply to sylviaj]

So good to hear. I read the same scoring when I researched. Yes, I'm praying for a decent report. I'll let you know, & thanks!😊
