What is Liver Biopsy & FibroScan?

Liver Biopsy and FibroScan are diagnostic procedures used to assess liver health and detect conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

A Liver Biopsy involves obtaining a small sample of liver tissue for microscopic examination. This provides detailed information about inflammation, scarring, and disease progression. FibroScan is a non-invasive test that measures liver stiffness using ultrasound-based technology.

Together, these tests allow accurate staging of liver disease and help guide long-term medical treatment and monitoring strategies.
