When does a doctor order Fibrotouch liverscan?

Who should get Fibrotouch liverscan done in Bengaluru?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly emerging problem in Bengaluru's IT workforce. Studies across the city's corporate hospitals find NAFLD in a significant share of professionals tested , strongly associated with the sedentary desk-bound work concentrated in Whitefield, Electronic City, Koramangala, and Indiranagar, combined with irregular meal patterns and calorie-dense food delivery consumption. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Bengaluru's residential areas including JP Nagar and Malleshwaram enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.

What conditions can Fibrotouch liverscan help diagnose?

It helps diagnose and follow fatty liver, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Results can be affected by alcohol use, obesity, diabetes, infections, or some medicines. A family history of liver disease may make this test more important.

What do Fibrotouch liverscan results mean?

ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.

How often should Fibrotouch liverscan be repeated?

Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment.
