Benefits of having a FibroScan examination at our facility:
FibroScan may help you get approval for the new Hepatitis C treatments: if the FibroScan score shows that your liver is becoming scarred - for example that you have severe fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) - we have a better chance of persuading your insurance company to cover the new drugs now for your treatment (e.g. Harvoni, Sovaldi/Sofosbuvir, Olysio/Simeprevir) without having to get a biopsy.
On the other hand, a very low FibroScan score can provide you and your loved ones reassurance that your liver can afford to wait for better/less expensive treatment options in the future.
In many cases FibroScan can help you avoid the added risk and possible complications of a liver biopsy
After a successful treatment (e.g. Hepatitis C) annual FibroScan can monitor your liver's recovery.
Recovery from liver fibrosis may lower your long term risk of cancer. FibroScan can show you how your recovery is advancing.
