Understanding Your Results
Low likelihood of advanced fibrosis
Indeterminate; may require further evaluation
High likelihood of advanced fibrosis; consider liver biopsy or specialist referral
Consult a gastroenterologist if you experience symptoms of NAFLD (e.g., fatigue, abdominal pain), have risk factors like obesity or diabetes, or if test results indicate a high fibrosis score for further management and possible biopsy.

- ⚠Not suitable for individuals with other causes of liver disease such as alcohol-related liver disease or viral hepatitis.
Risks & Considerations
