Echosense/fibroscan

[morethenaconqueror2]

Over the past 3 years I have been blessed with the opportunity of having an echosense/Fibroscan of my liver every three months at a very resonable price. The scan was performed 3x pretreatment,4x during treatment and another 3x postreatment.
This is an amazing machine. It is an accurate, noninvasive assessment of the liver- imagine being able to look inside your liver to check and see how it is doing. I heard it got great reviews last week at the AASLD. I currently travel to LA, California for testing. The researcher may consider opening a monthly Fibroscan clinic in the Los Angeles area if there is enough interest. Has anyone else ever had an echosense and if yes, what was your median (average score)? If anyone is interested in having a Fibroscan in the southern California area please post it. We only need 12 people for a full clinic. This procedure is not covered by insurance but is a great investment in your life because it truly does give you a good indication of how well your liver is doing. This will be the biopsy of the future. It is currenty all they use in most parts of Europe and has proven to be a reliable test to detect fibrosis,and cirrhosis (and, speaking from experience, is certainly easier/less risky than a traditional biopsy).

I am also considering trying Alinia . Apparently there are over 100 people using it for the treatment of hep B and C. Could you please post your results, side effects if any, and how long you have been treating.

I also have had a fibroscan done by this Dr. I am not sure what the purpose of the clinic is for, is to further prove the effectiveness of the fibroscan? By the way I was a F1-F2

Be very careful giving out any personal info on this. I am the rep for this product in SoCal (once it is FDA approved) and there are none of these devices currently in California. Research or otherwise. I ran accross this site will doing a google search and was stunned to see these strange comments from LA.

Great to see all the interest, but.........

Once again if anyone is serious about Fibroscan testing in the LA area at a reasonable price, please post your contact details and I will arrange it. For the record this is a research test only and has not yet been approved by the FDA. I have personally been using the machine for the past 3 years to monitor my diease progession. What a blessing it has been to have that advantage over the traditional options.
