What is a Fibro Touch Scan?

The Fibro Touch scan is considered to be a non-invasive, simple and painless procedure for measuring the liver stiffness and also performing a liver scan.

The Fibro Touch is considered to be a valuable diagnostic tool for diagnosing the liver fibrosis with proper diagnostic accuracy. It is also superior to that of APRI and FIB-4.

Why is Fibro Touch Scan Done?

The healthcare professional would in general prescribe you the Fibro Touch scan for two foremost reasons.

  • Staging of liver fibrosis
  • Steatosis (Simple Fatty Liver)

When should I get the Fibro Touch Scan done?

 The physician might recommend a Fibro Scan test in case you have any  one of the following diseases (chronic liver conditions):

  • Autoimmune Hepatitis
  • Cirrhosis
  • Genetic Diseases (example- Hemochromatosis and Wilson’s Disease)
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hepatitis C
  • Alcoholic Liver Disease

Here are some guidelines an individual can refer to once they have decided to undergo FibroTouch  Scan

The required documents needed for this test includes your valid government ID and an appropriate Doctor’s prescription.

Before the Test

Try not to consume any alcohol for at least two weeks before the Fibro Scan, and also don't eat or drink anything for at least three hours beforehand.

  • For this procedure, you would be required to  lie on your back with the right arm being raised behind the head, and that your right abdominal area is exposed (please wear loose fitting clothing for easy access)
  • A medical provider would be applying a water-based gel to your skin, and then would further place a non-invasive probe over the liver.
  • During this exam, you might also feel a slight vibration on the skin surface on the tip of this probe as it would be delivering ultrasound waves to this area for the measuring purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

The Fibroscan is considered to be a quick, painless and a non-invasive modality that measures elasticity of the liver tissue (or liver scarring), which is also called- fibrosis.

 Owing to its simplicity, it is known to be an ideal tool to further assess any liver damage, which could be performed at time of the consultation and these results are said to be available instantaneously.

Keep in mind to not eat or even drink anything for at least three hours before the Fibroscan.

 If you really have to, you could also take only small sips of water or some clear fluid, but please avoid drinking in large amounts

Ideally, it is also requested to not drink alcohol before the scan. You should be able to continue taking any prescribed medication.

You might need the FibroScan yearly or once in every three years period. The frequency is then seen to be dependent on the previous FibroScan results.

 The nurse/technician, who deals with hepatitis cases, would let you exactly, when would be the need of another FibroScan.

FibroScan is principally is used to estimate degree of the liver scarring present (i.e. stage of the liver disease).

This is also very useful in assessment of the patients with a chronic liver disease, including the following:

  • Chronic Hepatitis C
  • Chronic Hepatitis B
  • Chronic Alcohol Abuse
  • Fatty Liver

The FibroScan result might be less accurate if you have:

  • Obesity
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) Higher Than Value Of 30
  • Ascites (Fluid Accumulation In The Abdomen)

The FibroScan is considered to be an easy test and it is also fast, usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

The FibroScan usually provides an immediate result to the concerned operator. The physician would then interpret the results according to the history and the underlying disease.

To improve the test reliability, minimum or at least 10 valid readings, with at least a 60% success rate would be needed.

A FibroScan is able to measure up to a 3 cubic cm of liver tissue, which is approximately say 100 times  the volume of the liver measured through a normal and typical liver biopsy.

Contraindications of FibroTouch Scan are as follows:

  • Patients Who Are Pregnant
  • Have Any Implantable Electronic Devices
  • Including pacemakers, defibrillators, or pumps, should not have the FibroScan procedure.

The FibroScan might yield low LSM values and also underestimate or even misdiagnose the stage of the patients in liver fibrosis in patients with a mild hepatic inflammation

 It might also show elevated level of LSM values (Liver Stiffness Measurement) and it is used to overestimate or even misdiagnose cirrhosis in the patients with severe inflammation.

The grade of the liver inflammation has been positively correlated with the stage of fibrosis, the different grades of the inflammation, are seen to have the significant rise in the LSM values within same fibrosis stage.

In addition to the liver fibrosis, the FibroScan could be used to evaluate the liver inflammation in the CHB patients(Chronic Hepatitis B) in a noninvasive manner.
