Fatty Liver/Steatosis
Lifestyle
factors can influence the progression of non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease. Inactivity and obesity are two of
the biggest contributors to liver disease that is not due to heavy alcohol use.
The CAP score is measured in decibels per meter (dB/m) and
ranges from 100-400.
- A
CAP score that falls anywhere between 238 to 260 dB/m represents 11-33%
fatty change in the liver.
- A
CAP score that falls anywhere between 260 to 290 dB/m represents 34-66%
fatty change in the liver.
- A
CAP score that is 290 dB/m or higher represents over 67% fatty change in
the liver.
A healthy liver has a CAP score of 5% or lower.
A mild fatty liver is over 5% but less than 33%.
Over
34% but less than 66% is moderate, while over 66% is severe.
Higher fat content is a risk factor for disease progression.

Fibrosis
E kPa Median 8.8
ALT (SGPT)
The two biggest risk factors for liver scarring are alcohol
abuse and diseases like hepatitis. The fibrosis score
measures the stiffness of the liver, which is indicative of scarring.
- A
fibrosis score of F0 to F1 ( 2 to 7 kPa) means there is little or no
scarring on the liver.
- A
fibrosis score of F2 (7.5 to 10 kPa) indicates moderate scarring that has
spread outside the liver.
- A
fibrosis score of F3 (10 to 14 kPa) indicates severe scarring which has
spread and disrupts normal blood flow.
- A
fibrosis score of F4 ( 14 kPa or higher) means late-stage scarring or
cirrhosis, where the scarring is permanent and the damage is irreversible.
Fibrosis scores allow doctors to plan treatment. Liver scarring
is a serious condition and can lead to life-threatening complications if not
addressed.

Median
stiffness denotes how healthy is your liver. Liver
stiffness normal range is 2-7 kpa. So your liver stiffness is mildly increased.
Yes the increased is due to fatty liver, that means there is accumulation of
fat in your liver. The risk factors for this is obesity, sedantery life style, diabetes, alcohol consumption, inappropriate diet.
There are
few measures you can take to reduce your fatty liver.
1. Regular
exercise.
2. Check
your blood sugar levels, and if your diabetic get treated for it.
3. Meet a
dietician and follow a balanced appropriate diet.
4. Cut
down on alcohol( if you consume).
