🧬 HBV-Specific Markers

Directly related to the hepatitis B virus — infection status, viral activity, and immune response.

🫀 Liver Function Panel

Enzymes and proteins that show whether the liver is inflamed, damaged, or struggling to perform its functions.

🩸 Blood Count & Kidney Function

Cell counts and kidney markers — key for detecting complications and monitoring antiviral drug safety.

🔬 Other Tests

Liver cancer screening, thyroid function, and metabolic markers that influence HBV outcomes.

FibroScan Results

FibroScan (Transient Elastography) measures liver stiffness in kilopascals (kPa) to estimate fibrosis, and the CAP score in dB/m to estimate liver fat. Enter your results below. For accurate interpretation, always note the probe type and your ALT level at the time of testing.

Testing context — affects interpretation accuracy

Probe type
ALT at time of scan U/L
Enter your ALT from a blood test done around the same time as your FibroScan. Liver inflammation makes the liver stiffer — a raised ALT can add 1–3 kPa on top of the actual fibrosis stiffness, making the result appear worse than it really is.
IQR/M from your report %
The IQR/M % is printed on your FibroScan printout. It measures how consistent the 10 individual readings were — like 10 dart throws landing close together (good) vs spread apart (unreliable). Under 30% = reliable. Over 30% = readings varied too much; result should not be used alone.
⚠ Elevated ALT at time of test: Liver inflammation makes the liver stiffer independently of actual scarring — your FibroScan reading may be higher than your true fibrosis level. Even a mildly elevated ALT can add 1–3 kPa. The result is still useful but may overestimate your fibrosis stage. Ideally, FibroScan should be repeated once your ALT has returned to normal.
⚠ Inconsistent readings (IQR/M >30%): The 10 individual measurements varied too much from each other. This is like 10 dart throws spread all over the board — the average doesn't tell you much. This result should not be used to make clinical decisions. The test should be repeated, ideally after fasting for at least 2 hours, using the correct probe, and when there is no active liver inflammation.
⚠ XL probe: XL probe readings are approximately 1–2 kPa lower than M probe on the same liver. The standard cutoffs shown are derived from M probe data. Your result may slightly underestimate stiffness compared to M probe cutoffs — discuss with your hepatologist.
