Fibrosis Score

The Fibrosis Score is a measurement used by doctors to assess the amount of scar tissue in the liver caused by conditions like hepatitis or fatty liver disease. It helps determine how much the liver has been damaged and guides treatment decisions. The score ranges from low (little scarring) to high (extensive scarring), indicating the severity of fibrosis. Accurate scoring is important because advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis can lead to serious health issues, and this assessment helps in managing patient care effectively.
