The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Test (ELF) is designed to identify signs of mild to moderate liver fibrosis before any significant damage occurs. If detected in the early stages, liver disease progression can be prevented and much of the damage reversed. If left untreated, liver fibrosis can cause irreversible damage and develop into a life-threatening condition.
The growing prevalence of chronic liver diseases means that it has never been more important to test liver health and function. Our Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Blood Test offers a quick, easy, and accurate way to estimate the amount of scarring in your liver and assess your risk of liver fibrosis. The test can be booked individually or added as an extra test to our existing health assessment packages.
Scarring of the liver, otherwise known as liver fibrosis, occurs when the liver experiences inflammation and injury. The damage causes the liver to start the healing process. When the liver can no longer repair itself, excess scar tissue develops.
Many types of liver conditions can cause liver fibrosis, including:
Detecting liver fibrosis in the mild to moderate stages can help to prevent the level of scarring from developing into severe fibrosis and cirrhosis. In the early stages, it is possible to treat liver fibrosis and reverse some of the damage caused. However, without accurate testing and detection, severe scarring may occur. Progression of the disease can result in cirrhosis of the liver, which is irreversible and cannot be cured.
A simple ELF liver test ensures that any low-level scarring of the liver is identified and addressed before it develops into a more serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
