Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be diagnosed in several ways. Our checklist for detecting #FattyLiver falls down to 4 main check-points. Gaining knowledge of a patient's background and lifestyle can impact the outcome of having or not having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. A FibroScan is our last checkpoint to determine if there are any underlying issues in the liver by getting an accurate percentage of fat and stiffness within the liver. Let us help you complete your checklist. Call us TODAY to schedule your at-no-cost FibroScan! 🌐 https://bit.ly/45ohDPp ☎️ Edinburg: 956-284-6353 ☎️ Brownsville: 956-468-3360 . . . #SouthTexasResearchInstitute #STRI #ClinicalTrials #Research #NASH #MASLD #LiverAwareness #LiverDisease #LiverHealth #Wellness #Healthcare #HealthForAll

Interest in food as medicine is rising.
