🔍 Why is Liver Screening Important in Diabetes?
People with Diabetes Mellitus, especially Type 2 diabetes, have a high risk of fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH).
This condition often has no symptoms but can slowly progress to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
🧪 What is FibroScan?
FibroScan is an advanced ultrasound-based test that:
Measures liver stiffness (fibrosis)
Measures liver fat content
Does not require biopsy
✅ How FibroScan is Useful for Diabetic Patients
🔹 Early Detection of Fatty Liver
Detects fat accumulation in the liver before symptoms appear.
🔹 Measures Liver Fibrosis
Identifies liver scarring caused by long-standing diabetes and insulin resistance.
🔹 Non-Invasive & Painless
No needles, no cuts, no hospital admission.
🔹 Quick & Safe
Takes only 10–15 minutes with instant results.
🔹 Disease Monitoring
Helps track improvement with:
Blood sugar control
Weight loss
Lifestyle changes
Medical treatment
⚠️ Why Diabetes Increases Liver Damage
Diabetes increases fat deposition in the liver
Fatty liver worsens insulin resistance
Uncontrolled diabetes accelerates fibrosis progression
