PLEASE NOTE: FIBROSCAN® IS AN INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE AND DOES NOT HAVE PROVEN EQUIVALENCE TO LIVER BIOPSY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF HEPATIC FIBROSIS.
FibroScan® is an ultrasound device providing an estimation of hepatic fibrosis. The results of FibroScan® need to be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's clinical circumstances. FibroScan® should be repeated when results are discordant with clinical context and consideration for liver biopsy should be given when discordance is explained.
Please note that FibroScan® is an investigational device and does not have provene quivalence to liver biopsy in the assessment of hepatic fibrosis. FibroScan® does not replace conventional liver ultrasound and is not intended for the investigation or exclusion of liver lesions or biliary tract disease.
There is no requirement to fast or alter medication use prior to undergoing FibroScan®. FibroScan® assessment may not be possible in up to 1/4 of patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 and alternative investigations may be appropriate.
