Common first steps
Most pathways start with clinical history, risk factors, and blood tests interpreted by your treating clinician.
Imaging or further non-invasive assessment may then be used when fibrosis risk needs clearer staging.
Where elastography fits
Elastography is often discussed as a non-invasive method to estimate liver stiffness within broader clinical assessment.
Technology selection and workflow can vary across clinic and hospital settings.
