FibroScan liver scan for liver stiffness and fatty liver assessment at LIPS Healthcare

Your Liver Health:
How Healthy is your liver?

We often check our blood pressure and cholesterol, but liver health is frequently the "missing link" in understanding our overall metabolic health.

Why Early Liver Checks Matter?

Globally, the burden of chronic liver disease is rising, with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (formerly known as fatty liver), hazardous alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis representing the most common causes. It is often a “silent” condition that is underdiagnosed; you can lose a significant amount of liver function before cirrhosis develops and symptoms of complications such as jaundice and liver cancer appear. By the time symptoms are obvious, it may be too late to reverse the damage.

The good news? With early detection and the right lifestyle changes and treatment, liver damage is often preventable and reversible.

Who should check their liver health?

You might not feel unwell, but you should consider a liver health review if you fall into any of these categories:

background

Overweight or high BM

This group has the highest risk of metabolic liver disease. About 30% may have undiagnosed liver disease.

background

High blood pressure or high cholesterol

These conditions often go hand in hand with liver issues as part of “metabolic syndrome”.

background

Taking GLP-1 medications

Accessing these medications without specialist supervision could mean your liver health isn’t being properly checked.

background

Exceeding the alcohol limit

If you currently drink, or have previously drunk, more than 14 units of alcohol per week.

background

Abnormal liver blood tests

This includes people with abnormal liver blood tests or a scan showing fatty liver who received no further guidance.

background

Wellness and longevity

If you are serious about optimising your long-term health, checking your liver is as essential as checking your heart.

The Patient Journey

2

The Scan

5–10-minute FibroScan examination. You should be fasting for at least 3 hours.

3

The Results

The operator will give you the results immediately following the examination. In addition, the medical staff will discuss any clinical actions based on your overall health

Why standard tests aren’t enough

Many patients rely on standard GP blood tests or ultrasounds, but these can be misleading:

Blood tests

There is often a “disconnect” between liver blood tests and actual damage. You can have relatively normal liver enzymes but still have significant scarring, or high enzymes with little damage.

Ultrasound

While an ultrasound can confirm you have a “fatty liver”, it cannot accurately measure liver stiffness or scarring (fibrosis).
