A FibroScan test in KPHB measures your liver stiffness and liver fat in under ten minutes. The scan needs no needles, no dye and no radiation — you simply lie down, and the probe does the rest.
On-site FibroScan machine, Sunday OPD, evening consultation hours, and your report explained the same day — all under Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty (MBBS, MD, DM Medical Gastroenterology) at Gokul Gastro & Liver Care, KPHB 13th Phase, Kukatpally.

A FibroScan liver test checks how stiff your liver has become. Stiffness climbs as scar tissue slowly replaces healthy cells, while a second reading estimates how much fat sits inside the organ. Together, these two numbers describe your liver far better than a routine ultrasound alone.
Doctors call this technology transient elastography, though most patients simply call it a liver scan. The probe rests on your right side, between two ribs, sends a gentle pulse inward, and times the wave that returns — sound moves faster through stiff tissue than through soft tissue, so the machine turns wave speed into a stiffness score. The same pulse also tracks how much the signal fades, which reflects fat content.
Every scan produces two separate numbers, and each one answers a different question about your liver.
Your kPa value reflects fibrosis rather than fat. Lower figures suggest a soft, healthy liver; higher figures point towards advanced scarring. A single reading never settles the diagnosis on its own — your doctor reads it alongside your history and blood work.
CAP appears in decibels per metre, shortened to dB/m. This figure grades fatty change from mild to severe, so you learn whether fat, scarring or both deserve attention first.
Not every patient requires elastography. Still, several everyday situations make it genuinely worthwhile — these are the referrals we see most often at our Kukatpally clinic.
Fatty liver reported on a routine abdominal ultrasound, or raised SGPT and SGOT values on a company health check.
Chronic viral hepatitis is one of the most common reasons for referral at our clinic.
Type 2 diabetes, central obesity or high triglycerides all raise the value of checking early.
Drinking stretched over several years is one of the most common reasons we scan.
Planned review after antiviral therapy or a lifestyle change, to confirm the numbers are actually moving.
A strong family history is worth mentioning at your first visit, even without symptoms of your own.
A Liver FibroScan in KPHB suits long-term monitoring particularly well, since the scan repeats safely.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, now termed MASLD under the newer global naming.
Tracked at any stage, from early fatty change through to established scarring.
Regular scans track how the liver responds through the course of treatment.
Patients under maintenance therapy use repeat scans to confirm the disease stays controlled.
Enzymes staying raised beyond three months, without an obvious cause on first review.
A short, predictable visit — here's exactly what to expect, in order.
Fast for three hours (plain water stays fine), wear loose clothing that opens easily at the right side, pause alcohol for 48 hours, and carry earlier scans, blood tests and current prescriptions.
You lie flat with your right arm tucked behind your head, and the doctor applies gel and settles the probe between two ribs.
The machine collects ten valid measurements in quick succession. You feel only a light flick against the skin — no needle, no discomfort.
Your figures appear on screen straight away, with no wait for a lab to process anything.
Dr. Kamisetty explains each number in plain language, and together you agree on diet targets, medication and the next review date.
No single investigation suits everybody. Your gastroenterologist matches the test to your symptoms, blood work and body type — frequently, elastography and blood scores work best as a pair.
Chosen when you need fibrosis and fat graded quickly, without needles or radiation.
Chosen when the doctor wants a structural look at liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.
Chosen when a quick blood-based risk estimate helps before any imaging is ordered.
Chosen when the diagnosis stays unclear even after non-invasive testing.
Chosen when fluid in the abdomen or a very high BMI limits the ultrasound probe.
Chosen when enzyme trends and bilirubin need tracking alongside your scan.
