Fibroscan Referral Eform

From Ian Pun: --- I made a Eform to order fibroscan for you. . It's a useful test to check liver fibrosis and fatty liver, usually for patients with liver disease like hepatitis B , where we can institute intemediate anti-viral treatment if we find stage 2 fibrosis or greater. Examination with Fibroscan®, also called transient elastography, is a technique used to assess liver stiffness (measured in kPa correlated to fibrosis) without human body intrusion. The result is immediate, it shows the evolution of the liver health and allows physicians to diagnose and monitor disease evolution regardless of treatment or collateral factors. Exam result helps to anticipate various complications, as well as to monitor and assess the damages caused by diseases such as cirrhosis. Disclosure: I rent my office space out to Dr. Rob Myers , hepatologist, fibroscan machine and technician. Ian PUN MD
