Fibroscan®

A FibroScan is a quick, painless test that helps us check the health of your liver. Using a small handheld device placed on your skin, it measures how stiff your liver is, which can be a sign of scarring, and how much fat it contains. There are no needles, no cuts, and no recovery time, and most people go back to their normal day right afterward. Your Peninsula Gastroenterology Medical Group physician may recommend a FibroScan if you have liver disease, abnormal liver tests, or risk factors for fatty liver disease. Call our Redwood City or Mountain View office to learn more.
