FibroScan in Kochi is a non-invasive test used to assess liver stiffness and estimate the degree of liver fibrosis. It may also provide information related to liver fat, helping clinicians evaluate conditions such as fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis and other long-standing liver disorders without the need for an invasive procedure in many patients.

The test is quick, painless and can be repeated over time, making it useful for monitoring progression or improvement in chronic liver disease. FibroScan results are interpreted alongside blood tests, imaging findings and the patient's clinical history to guide further management.

Liver biopsy in Kochi involves obtaining a small sample of liver tissue for microscopic examination. It may be recommended when additional information is required to diagnose or stage liver disease, assess inflammation or fibrosis, or clarify findings that cannot be fully explained by blood tests and imaging alone.

The biopsy sample is evaluated by histopathology specialists to provide detailed information about the underlying liver condition. Liver biopsy may support diagnosis and treatment planning in selected cases of chronic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver disorders and other complex liver conditions, with the decision based on individual clinical requirements.
