A liver stiffness of 9 kPa from your Fibroscan indicates moderate liver fibrosis, likely from previous alcohol use. The good news is that early to moderate liver fibrosis can often be reversed with proper lifestyle changes and complete alcohol abstinence.
Complete Alcohol Abstinence
You must completely stop drinking alcohol to allow your liver to heal and prevent further damage.Even occasional drinking can impair recovery.
Regular Monitoring
Schedule follow-up Fibroscans every 6 months to track improvement. Liver stiffness typically improves within 6-12 months with proper lifestyle changes.
