Fibroscan showed F4 (17), but there is no cirrhosis on ultrasound (I've asked doctor to pay more attention to liver). I am so scared, I don't feel that I have such a serious decease.

    If you feel great and the doctor says its all good. I would say there is nothing to worry about. If the doctor says its okay, it means that over time things will improve as long as you do your part.

    Fibroscans can give off varying results depending on the person. Active inflammation can do this, if the person has weight issues, error... They should be running blood work to use all tests together. Results will also vary depending on the underlying cause of the suspected fibrosis/cirrhosis. Have an honest chat with ur doc and hopefully he can work with u on better understanding ur results and a treatment plan going forward. Wishing u well.
