MeasureTime frame
Liver Fibrosis by Fibroscan. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using non-invasive transient elastography (TE) is used to assess the hepatic fibrosis. [Baseline and four months after intervention] Liver Steatosis by Fibroscan Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) score is a measurement of fatty change in theur liver to provide a steatosis grade. The CAP score is measured in decibels per meter (dB/m). [ ] Liver Steatosis by Fibroscan.
