A member asked:
What is the point of a fibroscan, does it check for hep c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibroscan: No. This does not in any way check for causation. It is a measure, in part, of the degree of scarring in the liver from chronic inflammation and can be used to suggest the presence of cirrhosis.
