What is a Ultrasound Fibroscan Test in Visit Clinic?
What is Ultrasound Fibroscan?
Ultrasound Fibroscan assesses liver function by measuring markers that reflect liver cell integrity. The liver filters toxins, produces bile, processes nutrients, and synthesises proteins. When liver cells are stressed or damaged, they release specific enzymes into the bloodstream , this test quantifies that release.
What does Ultrasound Fibroscan measure?
Ultrasound Fibroscan measures how stiff the liver is and can estimate how much fat is in it. Stiffness reflects scarring (fibrosis). Fat measurement helps detect fatty liver disease. Liver enzymes released into the bloodstream correlate with the degree of liver cell damage , mild elevations suggest early fatty liver or medication effects, while very high values indicate acute hepatitis or significant injury. The test uses a blood sample and results are typically available the same day.
What do the results of Ultrasound Fibroscan mean?
Normal liver enzyme values fall within defined ranges that vary by gender and laboratory. Once results are ready, your doctor will interpret each value alongside your symptoms, medications, and medical history. Persistently abnormal values trigger further investigation such as an ultrasound abdomen or a hepatitis screen.

It is also ordered before starting medications metabolised by the liver , such as statins, anti-TB drugs, or long-term paracetamol , to establish a baseline and monitor for drug-induced liver injury.
