fibroscan vs liver biopsy

Hellow doctor,


I have a question.. i could not another doctor to ask.

I have hep B.

In december last year they found mild elevations of AFP levels. So they began testing..in mai the afp went down. So mi specialist thinks it was my hepatitis being nasty.
i have a normal MRI, US but my fibroscan showed 16.6 KPA meaning cirrhosis.So they did a liver biopsy that showed F0 fibrosis. No liver damage only an infection in the liver. Also my specialist stated that i was no longer active but just a carrier...

Wich test is more reliable? the biopsy or the Fibroscan?
Pls doc i am worried sick...

the liver biopsy is much more accurate than the fibroscan.  the biopsy is good, so nothing to worry about.  good luck.
