For General Practitioners

Liver Screening for GP Practices

Screen patients for liver disease without referral delays. With Elastography Australia, you can integrate liver health assessment into routine checkups and chronic disease management, providing immediate results and better patient outcomes.

Challenges We Solve

We understand your challenges

1

Referral Delays

Patients wait months for specialist appointments and hospital-based FibroScans, delaying critical diagnoses and treatment decisions.

2

Limited Screening Tools

Blood tests provide limited information. Without in-clinic assessment, early-stage liver disease often goes undetected.

3

Rising MAFLD Prevalence

With obesity rates climbing, more patients need liver screening but access to elastography remains limited in primary care.

4

Revenue Pressure

GP practices face ongoing financial pressures while specialists capture most procedural revenue from liver assessment.

5

Patient Experience

Multiple appointments across different facilities creates friction and reduces patient compliance with screening recommendations.

6

Care Continuity

When patients are referred out, GPs lose visibility into results and may miss opportunities for early intervention.

Seamless Integration

Fits your clinical workflow

Routine Health Checks

Integrate liver assessment into your standard health assessments for at-risk patients.

  1. 1Identify patients with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, alcohol use, or viral hepatitis.
  2. 2Perform an Elastography Australia scan during the appointment in around two minutes.
  3. 3Review the result immediately with the patient and explain the next step.
  4. 4Document findings and create a management plan or referral pathway.
  5. 5Use repeat testing to track response to weight loss and metabolic treatment.

Chronic Disease Management

Monitor liver health as part of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity management.

  1. 1Include liver screening in chronic disease reviews for high-risk cohorts.
  2. 2Track liver stiffness over time with serial measurements.
  3. 3Correlate results with HbA1c, lipids, and weight trends.
  4. 4Adjust treatment plans based on liver health findings.
  5. 5Demonstrate lifestyle intervention impact to patients in a tangible way.
