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.
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?

Your fibrosis is fine - 4.8 kPa is F0, no scarring at all. The real finding is CAP 310 dB/m, which means significant fatty liver (roughly grade S2-S3), and that matches the mild hepatomegaly on ultrasound. Fat itself rarely causes pain, so your right-sided rib pain is more likely muscular or gallbladder/gas related and needs a separate look. At 20, this fat is fully reversible - cut sugar, maida and fried food, walk 45 min daily, and get LFT, fasting sugar, HbA1c and lipid profile done. Skip the liver tonics. Book a consult with me on Practo with your reports and I will map out a 3-month plan for you.
Next Steps
Get LFT, fasting sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile and TSH; drop sugar, maida, fried food and any alcohol, and aim for 45 minutes of brisk walking daily plus 5-7% weight loss - CAP falls fast with that. Stop relying on liver tonics like Adlive. If the pain becomes constant, moves to the shoulder blade or comes with vomiting after fatty meals, get a repeat scan for gallstones. Happy to review your reports on an online consult and set the diet and follow-up plan.
