Houston Regional Gastroenterology Institute
At Houston Regional Gastroenterology Institute (HRGI), we are committed to making advanced liver care accessible, proactive, and patient-focused. That’s why we proudly offer a FREE FibroScan® liver screening for qualifying patients-providing a fast, painless, and non-invasive way to evaluate your liver health at no cost to you.
Liver disease often progresses silently. With a Free FibroScan, you can gain critical insight into your liver before symptoms ever appear.
Why We Offer a Free FibroScan®
Millions of Americans are living with fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, or early cirrhosis without knowing it. Traditional diagnosis often relies on invasive liver biopsy or expensive imaging. FibroScan® changes that.
By offering this screening free of charge, the financial barriers are removed so that more individuals can:
- Detect liver disease early
- Prevent progression to cirrhosis or liver failure
- Take control of metabolic and liver health
- Receive timely medical guidance when it matters most
Our mission is simple: early detection saves lives-and cost should never be an obstacle.
What Is a FibroScan®?
FibroScan® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive technology that uses painless vibration and ultrasound waves to assess:
- Liver stiffness (a marker for fibrosis or scarring)
- Fat accumulation in the liver (steatosis)
Unlike biopsy, there are:
- No needles
- No sedation
- No pain
- No recovery time
The scan takes about 10–15 minutes, and results are available almost immediately.
What Makes Our FibroScan Different?
At HRGI, your FREE FibroScan® is not a stand-alone test-it is part of a complete, physician-directed liver evaluation. Your results will be:
- Interpreted by experienced GI and liver specialists
- Reviewed in the context of your medical history
- Used to guide next steps, if needed
- Tracked over time for disease prevention and monitoring
This is not a retail screening-it is medical-grade diagnostic care, done right.
Who Should Take Advantage of the Free FibroScan®?
You may qualify for a FREE FibroScan® if you have one or more of the following:
- Fatty liver or elevated liver enzymes
- Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
- Obesity or excess abdominal weight
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- Metabolic syndrome
- High blood pressure
- Alcohol use history
- Family history of liver disease
- Long-term medication use affecting the liver
Even if you feel perfectly healthy, liver disease can be completely silent in early stages. Screening now can prevent life-altering complications later.
