The cost of liver elastography is approximately $100 to $200, and varies slightly by region and hospital level.
Liver elastography, also known as “liver transient elastography (TE)”, can quantitatively determine the degree of liver fibrosis or cirrhosis by detecting the stiffness value of an individual’s liver.
TE is easy to perform and can be repeated non-invasively. The reference range of liver stiffness value for normal people is 2.8-7.4KPa, and a TE examination costs about 100 RMB to 200 RMB, with slight variations in charges in different regions and levels of hospitals.
The liver stiffness value of TE is also affected by a variety of factors, and needs to be analyzed in combination with other imaging tests, and if necessary, liver puncture biopsy should be performed to determine the degree of individual liver fibrosis.
To summarize, the liver elasticity test is about 100 RMB to 200 RMB, and the specific price is recommended to refer to the fee standard of local hospitals. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions.
