How hardened is the liver at 8.7

Hardened liver hardness of 8.7 KPa indicates the presence of some fibrosis in the liver. The normal range of liver hardness is 2.8~7.4KPa, which is used to reflect liver fibrosis by ultrasound technology. If the liver hardness is 8.7KPa, it indicates that there is a certain amount of fibrosis in the liver, but it is usually not too serious, and after treatment, the liver hardness can even return to normal, such as fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease. However, some diseases can only be treated by slowing down the progress of liver fibrosis, for example, liver fibrosis caused by viral hepatitis, the cirrhosis index may continue to increase. Therefore, the condition of the liver cannot be judged solely on the basis of imaging tests, but also needs to be evaluated comprehensively in combination with clinical and related tests and examinations. To summarize, liver hardness of 8.7KPa only indicates the existence of certain fibrosis in the liver, and it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and follow up regularly in hospitals to avoid the progression of the disease.
