Liver Health

Liver health has remained an unmet medical need on the global scale. People are not familiar with the liver. Despite the fact that it’s a vital organ, they may not know that liver health is critical. Chronic liver disease is increasing dramatically, but it can be reversible if diagnosed early and correctly monitored and treated.

Silent and under-diagnosed

8 to 9 out of 10 people are unaware of living with viral hepatitis.

Mostly asymptomatic, chronic liver disease like NAFLD and NASH are silent but can potentially progress to cirrhosis or liver cancer (HCC).

Cirrhosis is the end-stage of chronic liver disease. It is usually irreversible, with a poor prognosis once clinical decompensation has occurred. The only curative treatment option for decompensated cirrhosis is liver transplant.

Damage to the liver caused by chronic liver diseases can often be reversed by early diagnosis and intervention.

Our liver health solutions, FibroScan® and Scores by echosens allow a comprehensive management of liver health.

How does it works?

FibroScan® is the gold standard non-invasive solution for comprehensive management of liver health. It is called non-invasive as nothing enters your body.

FibroScan® sends a pulse of energy to your liver, which will give your doctor important information about your liver’s health.
