What is a FibroScan®?

A FibroScan® is like an ultrasound “tap test” of the liver. It measures how stiff the liver tissue is. Higher stiffness can suggest more fibrosis (scarring).

  • Non-invasive (no needles)
  • Usually completed in minutes

What is UGAP?

UGAP measures fat in the liver. It helps quantify fatty liver rather than guessing. This can be useful for monitoring changes after lifestyle or treatment.

  • Helpful for fatty liver / metabolic risk
  • Useful for follow-up comparisons

Preparation (important)

  • Please fast for 2–3 hours before your appointment (water is fine)
  • Wear comfortable clothing
  • Appointment is typically 15–20 minutes

FAQs

These questions are written in plain language to help you book with confidence. If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll guide you.

1) What does a FibroScan® test for?
It estimates liver stiffness (liver fibrosis/scarring) by measuring how stiff the liver tissue is. Higher stiffness can suggest more fibrosis, but results are interpreted alongside your history and blood tests.
2) What does UGAP measure?
UGAP measures fat in the liver (fatty liver). It provides a number that can help with monitoring over time.
3) Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book privately. If your results suggest you need specialist review, we’ll advise the appropriate next steps to take with your GP.
4) Is FibroScan® painful?
It’s usually painless. You may feel a light tapping sensation on the skin.
5) Is there any radiation?
No. It’s ultrasound-based and does not use x-rays.
6) How long does it take?
Most appointments are 15–20 minutes.
7) Will I get results on the same day?
Yes. You’ll get same-day results with a clear explanation and guidance.
8) Do I need to fast?
Yes — please fast for 2–3 hours before your appointment (water is fine).
9) Which clinics do you offer this in?
We provide appointments in Tunbridge Wells, Orpington and Central London. Select your preferred location in the booking calendar.
