FibroMax

FibroMax measures various biochemical markers in the blood, including enzymes and proteins, to assess the liver's health. It evaluates fibrosis, steatosis, and inflammation, and calculates scores to indicate the extent of liver damage.

No, fasting is not required for the FibroMax test.

You should get the FibroMax test if your doctor recommends it based on symptoms or risk factors for liver disease, such as chronic hepatitis infection, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, or a family history of liver diseases.

Higher scores in FibroMax usually indicate a higher degree of liver damage. Your doctor will interpret the scores in the context of your overall health and other tests to determine the best course of action.

Normal values for FibroMax can vary. Your doctor will evaluate the results in the context of your health and other diagnostic tests.

Factors such as age, gender, medication use, alcohol consumption, and underlying health conditions can affect the results of the FibroMax test.

No specific precautions are needed before the FibroMax test. However, it's important to inform your doctor of any medications or supplements you are taking.

Lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol consumption, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding hepatotoxic medications can positively affect liver health.

Genetics and certain underlying health conditions are non-modifiable factors that can affect liver health.

Yes, FibroMax can be used to monitor the efficacy of treatments for liver diseases by evaluating changes in liver fibrosis, steatosis, and inflammation over time.

FibroMax can provide valuable information about the liver's condition and may reduce the need for a liver biopsy in some cases. However, it may not entirely replace biopsy in all scenarios.

Understanding your liver health is crucial in maintaining overall well-being. FibroMax offers a non- invasive method to evaluate various aspects of liver function and structure, aiding in the early detection and management of liver diseases. It's important to discuss the results and implications with your doctor, who can provide personalized advice and treatment plans.
