Nepal Mediciti started Liver Fibro-scanning service for detecting Liver diseases without Needles, pain and hospital admission.

LALITPUR – With liver diseases on the rise due to increasingly sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits, Nepal Mediciti Hospital has introduced advanced Liver Fibroscan services offering the public a fast, painless, and reliable way to assess liver health.

Liver fibro-scanning detects liver stiffness and fat buildup within minutes without needles, pain, or hospital admission. Compared to traditional biopsy, Liver fibro-scanning is non-invasive, highly accurate, and provides immediate results, allowing doctors to advise patients on the spot.

According to Prof. Dr. Umid Kumar Shrestha, Head of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Endoscopy, lifestyle changes are driving a surge in liver-related illnesses.

“Lack of physical activity, increased consumption of processed and restaurant food, alcohol use, obesity, and diabetes are major contributors to fatty liver and cirrhosis,” he noted. “The concern is that many patients remain symptom-free until the disease has already progressed.”

Health experts warn that people who frequently consume alcohol, eat outside regularly, or live sedentary lives are at higher risk and should undergo routine liver screening. Early detection through Liver Fibro-scanning can identify reversible stages of liver damage helping patients take timely action and avoid long-term complications.

Beyond diagnosis, the scan also offers reassurance. For many, a quick and simple check can bring peace of mind or serve as a wake-up call to adopt healthier habits.

To encourage preventive care, Nepal Mediciti Hospital is offering an introductory 20% discount on Liver Fibroscan services valid until May 1, 2026.

Doctors emphasize that regular screening, combined with lifestyle changes such as balanced diets and physical activity, is key to maintaining liver health in today’s fast-paced world.
