Diagnostic Blood Test:

• Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test

The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test is a non-invasive blood test used to assess the extent of liver fibrosis, or scarring, in individuals with chronic liver disease. Fibrosis is a common consequence of chronic liver injury and can lead to liver cirrhosis, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. The ELF test measures the levels of several biomarkers in the blood that are associated with liver fibrosis, including type III procollagen, hyaluronic acid, and laminin. The ELF test can be used to monitor the progression of liver fibrosis in individuals with chronic liver disease and may help guide treatment decisions.
