Before performing a FibroScan, a thorough history and clinical examination are essential to assess liver health and identify potential causes of liver fibrosis. History-taking focuses on risk factors such as alcohol intake, viral hepatitis, metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, and family history of liver disease. Symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, abdominal discomfort, or weight loss are noted. Clinical examination includes inspection for jaundice, spider angiomas, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, ascites, or signs of chronic liver disease. These findings help determine the need for FibroScan, a non-invasive tool that measures liver stiffness and fat content, aiding in the assessment of fibrosis and steatosis severity.
