A FibroScan CAP score of 319 suggests significant fatty liver (hepatic steatosis), while an LSM value of 4 kPa is reassuring and usually indicates there is no significant liver fibrosis/scarring at present. This commonly occurs due to fatty liver disease, which can be associated with: • Obesity or increased waist circumference • Sedentary lifestyle • High sugar/refined carbohydrate intake • Diabetes, cholesterol, or triglyceride issues • Alcohol intake (if applicable) The good part is that fibrosis is low, meaning the liver damage is likely reversible with lifestyle changes. Recommended diet and lifestyle: • Avoid sugary drinks, sweets, bakery items, junk food, fried food • Reduce white rice, maida, excess carbohydrates • Increase salads, vegetables, fruits in moderation, dal, lean protein • Prefer whole grains and high-fibre diet • Avoid alcohol completely if possible • Regular exercise: at least 45–60 minutes daily • Aim for gradual weight loss if overweight (even 7–10% weight reduction helps significantly)
Next Steps
Repeat FibroScan after lifestyle modification as advised by your doctor, usually after 6–12 months. Consult for complete evaluation and personalized management, especially if liver enzymes are elevated.
Health Tips
