Clinical Trials in California
Fibroscan
Non-invasive scan for Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MAFLD).
What is a FibroScan?
A FibroScan is a non-invasive scan of the liver, similar to an ultrasound. The FibroScan machine is designed to measure the amount of fat tissue and scarring around the liver.
Who needs a Fibroscan?
Anyone who is at risk for fatty liver disease can benefit from the information a FibroScan provides. One of the most widespread fatty liver diseases is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MAFLD).
There isn’t any one known cause of MAFLD, but it has been linked to conditions like obesity, type II diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), and high triglycerides (Hypertriglyceridemia).
Do I need to volunteer for a study to get a FibroScan?
No, you don’t need to volunteer to participate in a study to get a FibroScan at Om Research.
Why is Om Research using a FibroScan machine?
Om Research is participating in studies for the potential treatment of fatty liver disease. The specific condition our studies are looking at is MASH or Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MAFLD).
It is a more advanced version of MAFLD where scarring is present on the liver. We use the FibroScan as a tool to identify potential patients for the studies and to monitor current patients who are participating in the studies.
How much does it cost?
