Why has fibroscan got worse on ETV?

I have been taking entecavir for nearly 2.5 years. Results of fibroscan went from around 7.6pa to 4.4pa and then in latest its 7pa.
Has anyone experience this?

One reason for significantly worsening fibroscan, despite taking NUCs for prolonged time, could be another liver disease, such as fatty liver or NASH.
This should be investigated IMO...

I am on entecavir over 2 years. My liver enzymes are no improvement, Fibrosure result is worsened than last year, I had Fibroscan done once but no more, so could not compare.
