Diagnostic Checkpoint01

Do You Know Your Fibrosis Score?

Liver fibrosis progresses silently. Most patients with F1 or F2 fibrosis have no symptoms — but their enzyme panels tell a different story. A fibrosis score isn't a diagnosis. It's a map.

The FIB-4 index combines your age, ALT, AST, and platelet count into a single number that predicts liver scarring with 80%+ accuracy. Your GP can calculate it from your last blood draw — but most don't.

Self-Assessment
Check your status
Have you ever seen a FIB-4 or APRI score on your bloodwork?
Do you know whether your fibrosis is stable or progressing?
Has anyone explained what your ALT-to-AST ratio means?
If you answered "no" or "unsure" to any of these, this is exactly what a liver audit addresses.

02
Monitoring Checkpoint02

When Was Your Last Hepatic Panel?

A single elevated ALT reading is a flag. A pattern of readings over 18 months is a diagnosis. Liver disease is a time-series problem — one data point tells you nothing.

NAFLD, chronic hepatitis B, and alcohol-related liver disease all progress at different rates. Without serial monitoring, your doctor is flying blind between annual physicals. We track trend lines, not snapshots.

Self-Assessment
Check your status
Has your ALT been elevated on more than one blood draw?
Do you have a baseline hepatic panel from 12+ months ago?
Are your liver enzymes trending up, down, or flat?
If you answered "no" or "unsure" to any of these, this is exactly what a liver audit addresses.

03
Attribution Checkpoint03

Are Your Symptoms Being Attributed to the Right Cause?

Fatigue, right-side discomfort, brain fog, and bloating are common complaints at annual physicals. They're also the four most common symptoms of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. How certain is your doctor?

Metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, and NAFLD produce nearly identical symptom profiles. Without liver-specific imaging and enzyme panels, it's attribution by exclusion — which leaves the actual cause untreated.

Self-Assessment
Check your status
Have you been told your fatigue is "just stress" without liver workup?
Does right upper quadrant discomfort come and go?
Has your weight fluctuated significantly in the last 3 years?
If you answered "no" or "unsure" to any of these, this is exactly what a liver audit addresses.

04
Post-Surgical Checkpoint04

Do You Have a Post-Bariatric Liver Protocol?

Rapid weight loss accelerates fatty liver mobilization. In 30% of bariatric patients, NASH persists or worsens in the 18 months after surgery — even as the scale improves dramatically.

Post-bariatric liver disease follows a distinct metabolic timeline. Without elastography at 6, 12, and 24 months post-op, clinically significant fibrosis can establish itself before anyone notices. We've designed a specific protocol for this population.

Self-Assessment
Check your status
Did your bariatric team include hepatology in your follow-up plan?
Have you had liver elastography since your procedure?
Is your post-op diet plan liver-specific or just calorie-focused?
If you answered "no" or "unsure" to any of these, this is exactly what a liver audit addresses.

Dr. Margaret Osei-Bonsu

Director of Hepatology
MD, FRACP, Hepatology Fellowship — Royal Melbourne Hospital

Fifteen years reading elastography results and enzyme panels that other clinicians had filed as "borderline." She built the Hepar diagnostic protocol from the ground up after seeing too many F3 fibrosis cases that arrived as "slightly elevated ALT."

Dr. Rohan Krishnamurthy

Consultant Gastroenterologist
MBBS, FRACP, PhD — Liver Fibrosis Biomarkers

His PhD examined why post-bariatric patients are systematically under-monitored for hepatic outcomes. He designed the clinic's post-surgical liver protocol and has since guided over 800 patients through the 24-month metabolic transition period.
