In 30 secs, demystify your liver fibroscan score. A Fibroscan is a non-invasive test that measures the stiffness of your liver. The stiffness of your liver is related to the amount of scarring in your liver. Scarring in the liver can be caused by a number of things, including fatty liver disease, alcohol abuse, and hepatitis.

Your Fibroscan result will include two scores: the CAP score and the LSM score.
The CAP score measures the amount of fat in your liver. A normal CAP score is below 238 dB/m. A CAP score of 238 dB/m or higher indicates that you have fatty liver disease.
The LSM score measures the stiffness of your liver. A normal LSM score is below 7 kPa. An LSM score of 7 kPa or higher indicates that you have some degree of liver scarring.
If your Fibroscan result is abnormal, your doctor will discuss your options for treatment. Treatment for fatty liver disease typically includes lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly.
If you have any questions about your Fibroscan result, be sure to talk to your doctor.
