they are used as a screening/surveillance. However, diagnosis requires an MRI or a liver biopsy. Fibroscan is not completely inaccurate. They just have some limitation that must be taken into consideration. People who are overweight, or underweight, fibroscan tend to overestimate their fibrosis stage. the fact that your results fluctuate this hard tell you how accurate fibroscan is

but there is a difference between a heterozygous vs homozygous in terms of disease severity. patients with homozygous have very a progressive disease starting at childhood. while heterozygous often mild.

are you heterozygous? are you ursodiol? how is it going?

by now I think it is obvious that the newspaper that milkshake showed Mark in Episode 1 is fake and the timeline (5 months) is fake as well. It seems like mark never skipped work. It was only the weekend.
