Protect Your Liver Health with a FibroScan at The Health Suite Leicester
Your liver is one of the most vital organs in your body, responsible for detoxifying chemicals, metabolising nutrients, and supporting digestion. However, liver disease is often silent in its early stages, meaning damage can progress without noticeable symptoms. That’s where a FibroScan can help.
At The Health Suite in Leicester, we offer FibroScan assessments to check for liver fibrosis (scarring) and fat accumulation in a quick, painless, and non-invasive way. If you’re concerned about your liver health, a FibroScan could be the essential screening tool you need.

Who Should Have a FibroScan?
Liver disease can affect anyone, but certain groups are at higher risk. You should consider a FibroScan at The Health Suite if you have:
1. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
NAFLD, now often referred to as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), is one of the most common liver conditions worldwide. It affects individuals with:
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- Insulin resistance
Excess fat in the liver can lead to inflammation and progress to liver fibrosis, increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver failure if left untreated.
2. Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD)
Regular alcohol consumption over time damages liver cells, leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. A FibroScan can detect early signs of liver stiffness, allowing you to take action before irreversible damage occurs.
3. Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome
Diabetes is a major risk factor for liver fibrosis. High blood sugar levels can promote fat buildup in the liver, leading to scarring over time. People with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome should have regular FibroScans to monitor their liver health.
4. Viral Hepatitis (Hepatitis B or C)
Chronic viral infections such as hepatitis B or C can lead to long-term inflammation and fibrosis, even if you do not have symptoms. Regular liver monitoring with a FibroScan helps to detect and manage potential complications.
5. Unexplained Liver Function Abnormalities
If your blood tests show abnormal liver function, but the cause is unclear, a FibroScan can provide deeper insights into your liver’s condition without the need for an invasive biopsy.

What Does a FibroScan Involve?
One of the key benefits of a FibroScan at The Health Suite Leicester is its simplicity and efficiency. The scan typically takes just 10–15 minutes, requires no needles, and provides instant results.
Here’s what to expect:
- Preparation – You’ll be asked to fast for at least three hours before the scan to ensure accurate readings.
- The Scan – A small probe is placed on your skin, sending painless vibrations into your liver. This assesses liver stiffness (fibrosis) and fat content (steatosis).
- Instant Results – Your results are available immediately, and our specialists will explain what they mean for your liver health.
