FibroScan - Liver Health Assessment
In partnership with the expert team from “Leaders in Liver Health”, we offer a consultant-led liver health assessment using FibroScan. This non-invasive scan measures liver stiffness and fat in a matter of minutes, giving you clear, accurate insight into your liver health with specialist guidance and dedicated clinical support.
*Our pricing starts from £550.
Benefits of FibroScan
- Non-invasive and painless: FibroScan uses ultrasound-based technology to assess liver stiffness and fat, so there are no needles, incisions, or sedation, making it far more comfortable than a traditional liver biopsy.
-
Quick 10-minute appointment: The scan itself takes only a few minutes, and a typical appointment is around 10 minutes, so you can fit a liver health assessment easily into a busy schedule.
-
Early detection of liver disease: By measuring liver stiffness and fat, FibroScan can help detect scarring (fibrosis), cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease at an earlier stage, when lifestyle changes or treatment are most effective.
-
No recovery time or downtime - You can return to normal activities immediately after your scan, with no need for time off work or post-procedure observation.
Do You Need a
FibroScan?
Whether you require a FibroScan because of symptoms, lifestyle factors, or existing medical conditions, our consultant-led service provides a detailed understanding of your liver health. The scan can identify early changes such as fatty liver (hepatic steatosis) or scarring (fibrosis), offering important clinical information to inform treatment and management decisions. By choosing a Fibroscan, you can be proactive about your long-term liver health and make any necessary lifestyle changes to improve your liver and general health.
FibroScan is also an invaluable test for proactively monitoring your liver health over time, allowing for early intervention and peace of mind.
