Elastograph score

So I had an elastograph and the result came back as F3.  Just finished triple therapy with Interferon.
So I had thought I was Cirrhotic but now I am not so sure.  Any thoughts ?

Elastography is very accurate in terms of determining Cirrhosis. There's mixed data regarding whether or not it's more accurate than a biopsy for detecting early stage fibrosis.

Regardless, you say you 'thought' that you were Cirrhotic. If you had never been clinically diagnosed as such, I would think that the ultrasound result of F3 has confirmed that you are not Cirrhotic.
