Have any liver transplant patients have a fibroscan?

Yes, I had one done as part of a clinical trial I enrolled in after being told I had mild fatty liver activity by my GI doctor and being too stubborn to accept that there was really nothing I could change to improve it. I had no obvious risk factors. Thank goodness I did because it was super easy and detected that I was much further along than my doctor thought. Fast forward to a liver biopsy, going to Mayo Phoenix and my eventual listing for TPX. Good luck!

Hi and welcome to Connect, @toucanmom. I am glad that you have joined Connect and have shared your experience. That is what Connect is all about! We are a safe place to share our experiences to support and help others on a similar health journey.
I commend you for advocating for yourself. This is an example of when stubornnesss really pays off. If you are comfortable I am curious as to how your GI reacted to your persistence and how eventually were referred for a liver transplan evaluation(?)
