Works with Coding Auditors, Clinical Documentation Specialists, and clinicians to identify areas for improvement in documentation and collaborates on educational initiatives regarding documentation and DRG assignment.
Examination with FibroScanÂ®, also called transient elastography, is a technique used to assess liver stiffness (measured in kPa correlated to fibrosis) without invasive investigation.xamination with FibroScanÂ®, also called transient elastography, is a technique used to assess liver stiffness (measured in kPa correlated to fibrosis) without invasive investigation.
Non-invasive tests are being developed to replace liver biopsy, and thus avoid the risk of biopsy-related adverse events. Non-invasive tests also have the potential to avoid limitations of liver biopsy, including the risk of sampling errors and inter-and intra-pathologist variability.The FibroSpect II (Prometheus Laboratories, San Diego, CA) is a non-invasive diagnostic panel to assist in the detection of liver fibrosis.urthermore, an UpToDate review on âTests used for the noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosisâ (Curry and Afdhal, 2013) states that âWhile tremendous progress has been made in improving the accuracy of serum markers of hepatic fibrosis, they cannot yet supplant direct analysis of the liver.
