FibroScan Test in Vadodara: Cost, Benefits, What It Measures and Where to Get Tested

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Searching for a FibroScan test in Vadodara? If you have been diagnosed with fatty liver, have diabetes, are concerned about your liver health, or have been advised to undergo further liver assessment, understanding FibroScan can help you make informed decisions about your health.

At Kayakalpa Clinic, Old Padra Road, Vadodara, we offer liver assessment using the Echosens FibroScan® Mini+ 430.



What is a FibroScan test?

FibroScan is a non-invasive liver assessment that uses transient elastography to measure liver stiffness and estimate liver fat.

Unlike a routine blood test, FibroScan provides measurements related to two important aspects of liver health:

  • Liver stiffness measurement (LSM): Helps assess possible liver fibrosis, or scarring.

  • Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP): Helps estimate fat accumulation in the liver.

These measurements can provide additional information during the medical evaluation of fatty liver and other chronic liver conditions.

Why is liver health assessment important?

Fatty liver disease can develop without obvious symptoms. Some people discover a liver-related concern only after routine blood investigations or an abdominal ultrasound.

Certain metabolic risk factors are associated with fatty liver, including:

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Insulin resistance

  • Excess body weight or obesity

  • High triglycerides

  • Metabolic syndrome

  • Abnormal liver enzyme levels

Having one or more of these risk factors does not automatically mean that you have liver disease. However, discussing your individual risk with a doctor can help determine whether further assessment is appropriate.

What does a FibroScan measure?

FibroScan provides two key measurements.

1. Liver fat assessment using CAP

CAP helps estimate the amount of fat in the liver. It can support the evaluation of hepatic steatosis, commonly referred to as fatty liver.

2. Liver stiffness assessment using LSM

LSM measures liver stiffness. Increased stiffness may be associated with fibrosis, although other factors can influence the measurement. Your doctor interprets the result in the context of your medical history and other investigations.

Is FibroScan different from an ultrasound?

Yes. A conventional abdominal ultrasound and FibroScan provide different types of information.

Ultrasound produces images of abdominal organs and may identify signs suggestive of fatty liver. FibroScan provides quantitative measurements of liver stiffness and liver fat.

They are not interchangeable tests. Depending on your clinical situation, your doctor may recommend one or both.

How much does a FibroScan test cost in Vadodara?

At Kayakalpa Clinic, the FibroScan assessment fee is ₹4,500 per scan using the Echosens FibroScan Mini+ 430.
