Impact of abdominal adhesions Fibroscan
My mother underwent open abdomen gastrojejunostomy surgery around 13 years back. In recent times she has been diagnosed with NAFLD and Fibroscan stiffness score came 24 KPA. My question is whether previous surgery scar tissue is impacting the Fibroscan results and making it falsely high or not
