DETECT CIRRHOSIS AND FATTY LIVER IN JUST 10 MINUTES - FOR ONLY 800,000 VND

Currently, liver biopsy is considered the standard method for assessing the extent of cirrhosis. However, this procedure can be painful and carries a small risk of complications, although they are rare.

Taking care of liver health is a crucial aspect of maintaining overall well-being.

Liver Elastography Service or Fibroscan is an innovative ultrasound technique that allows for the simultaneous measurement of liver fibrosis and fatty liver, offering several advantages: it is non-invasive (causing no pain to the patient), quick, accurate, and affordable.

The process of Fibroscan measurement is as follows: the patient lies on their back with their right arm raised high to create space between the ribs. Then, an elastic ultrasound probe is placed on the skin in the right liver area. The patient only experiences a slight vibration each time the machine generates an elastic wave. Typically, the Fibroscan measurement process takes only 5 to 10 minutes and is painless and convenient for the patient.

LIVER ELASTOGRAPHY SERVICE IS RECOMMENDED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

People with liver disease: Liver elastography is frequently prescribed for patients with liver diseases to assess liver damage, including:

• Patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV), C virus (HCV), and other related conditions.
• Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
• Patients with cirrhosis, liver transplant, or cancer.

People without liver disease: In addition to individuals with a history of liver disease, the following people should also undergo liver elastography to screen for potential risks:

• Individuals with metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.
• Individuals who have a long history of alcohol consumption or drug use.
• Individuals of all ages undergoing regular health check-ups.
