fibroscan?
I thought the only way to find out the progresion was a liver biopsy? what is a fibroscan?
The reason the FibroSCAN has not been approved by the FDA here in the USA is data from trials proved it to be unreliable for middle stages. It was no better then the blood test FibroSure. As it looks right now it will never be approved here. It is used often in other countries where regulation is not as strict.
I do think it could be used along with other tests to get a good idea of a patients liver fibrosis.
