Fibroscan put me at f0 but fibrotest put me at f2 which one do i trust?!?!?!

It depends : Why did you get the 2 tests? Have you discussed this with your ordering doctor? Research has shown Fibroscan accuracy in assessing lower degrees of liver fibrosis (F1-F2) is not as reliable compared to diagnosing advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3/F4). The makers of FibroTest state it has the same diagnostic value as a 25 mm biopsy, while being noninvasive and easily repeatable.
