Hello, i'm a chronic hep b carrier. I wanted to find out the extent of liver scarring (Fibrosis) and me liver doctor has ordered Fibrospect 2 test.Fortunatley not a lot of damege in my liver (F0-F2, mild scarring). I'm on treatment with Viread 300mg for over a year now.Been undetectable for a while now.Are you on treatment yet?Yes, your liver doctor can have you do Fibrospect 2 test too. Now days, there are several non invasive test to detect liver fibrosis.No more need to do biopsy anymore. I had biopsy done 1314 years ago, and is very painful. Good luck to you.
Hi,Cally 44

FibroTest
The FibroTest is calculated using an original combination of five highly concentrated biochemical markers which are easy to assess. The FibroTest offers a non invasive alternative to measure fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C or B, alcoholic liver disease and metabolic steatosis (overweight, diabetes, hyperlipidemia)
The FibroTest combines alpha2-macroglobulin, haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, total bilirubin and GGT, parameters adjusted for patient
