Hello,
I have done Fibroscan. My score is 6.9 Kpa ( F0F1  Hepatits B Cronic). Is thid good?

Thanks. Yes, I went to MD because despite being UND 6 months post tx, and normal lft's during tx, most recent post tx lft's were like 1 point above normal (also cholesterol shot up greatly). I feel great by the way. Anyway, he did fibroscan, ordered repeat tests and labs (ANA, IG's, anti-smooth muscle antibody, etc), and a script for Pravachol.  Sound right?

A FS scan result of 6.1 kPa  would mean  very mild liver damage(fibrosis) as it correlates to the Metavir scale that would be considered F0 -F1.. Keep in mind FS is prone to some degree of error (especially in earlier stage )interpretation

(2.3-6.6) F0 -F1
(7.3 -8.9) F2
(10.5- 11.6) F3
>12  F4(cirrhosis)

What Does My METAVIR Score Mean?
The fibrosis is graded on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4. The activity, which is the amount of inflammation (specifically, the intensity of necro-inflammatory lesions), is graded on a 4-point scale from A0 to A3.
Fibrosis score:
F0 = no fibrosis
F1 = portal fibrosis without septa
F2 = portal fibrosis with few septa
F3 = numerous septa without cirrhosis
F4 = cirrhosis
