FIBROSpect® NASH
Use
PROMETHEUS FIBROSpect® NASH is a laboratory-developed test that aids in the detection, staging, and monitoring of liver fibrosis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients. It provides a quantitative fibrosis score to help physicians risk stratify and monitor patients using three clinically relevant biomarkers, potentially reducing the need for biopsy.
