FibroScan Report Interpretation
I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any further tests.
Recently had a FibroScan. My report shows CAP 310 dB/m, liver stiffness 4.8 kPa, IQR/Median 22%, and 10 valid measurements. What do these results mean? Do I have fatty liver, and if so, what grade is it? Is 4.8 kPa normal, or does it indicate any liver fibrosis? Do I need any further tests or treatment, and when should I repeat the FibroScan?”

Your FibroScan is reassuring. Stiffness 4.8 kPa is normal - no fibrosis, F0. CAP 310 means significant fat in the liver, so this is grade 2-3 fatty liver, and that with the mildly enlarged liver explains your occasional right-sided pain under the ribs. At 20 this is fully reversible with weight and diet, not with liver tonics like Adlive.
Next Steps
Get LFT, fasting sugar, HbA1c and lipid profile done; cut sugar, maida and fried food, 45 min brisk walk daily, and drop 5-7% weight. Repeat FibroScan after 1 year. If pain becomes constant, severe, or you get vomiting/yellow eyes, get seen the same day. You can book a consult with me on Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj to review the reports.
