Why Liver Health Matters
Liver disease affects millions of people in the UK, with conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) becoming increasingly common. Early-stage liver disease typically causes no symptoms, making proactive screening essential for at-risk individuals. With early detection and appropriate management, many liver conditions can be effectively controlled or reversed.
FibroScan Technology
FibroScan is a non-invasive, painless technology that measures liver stiffness and fat content. The 10-minute scan provides valuable information about liver fibrosis (scarring) and steatosis (fatty infiltration) without the need for liver biopsy. This allows us to assess liver health quickly and comfortably, with immediate results.
Comprehensive Assessment
Our hepatology assessment includes consultation with a specialist, blood tests for liver function and related markers, and FibroScan examination. We evaluate risk factors including alcohol consumption, metabolic health, viral hepatitis status, and medication use. Based on your results, we provide clear explanations and personalised recommendations.
Who Should Consider Assessment
Liver health assessment is particularly important if you have risk factors including elevated liver enzymes on blood tests, type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, obesity, regular alcohol consumption, family history of liver disease or if you are taking medications that may affect the liver.
