Without Fibroscan techonology, patients like May would need to undergo painful liver
biopsies regularly. Instead, she can receive a Fibroscan a few times a year to ensure her
treatments are working and her condition remains stable.
1 in 5 Canadians suffer from chronic liver disease. Fibroscan helps us to
diagnose patients with liver disease earlier, ensuring the very best treatment options. Giving
patients a greater chance of survival.
The University of Alberta Hospital is home to the second-largest liver transplant program in
Canada. We treat patients throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and northern British Columbia.
Will you renew your generous support of the University Hospital Foundation today to
help purchase state-of-the-art equipment like the Fibroscan?
You have the chance to help patients with liver disease get the diagnosis and treatment
they desperately need. Patients with liver disease often have no signs or symptoms until it’s
too late. With equipment like the Fibroscan we can give patients a better chance through
earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.
Thank you again for your generosity. As a doctor, I can assure you your continued
support today will directly impact patients — patients just like May. Perhaps one day you or
someone you love will be affected by liver disease.
Thank you in advance for any gift you can send today.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Mang Ma
Hepatologist, University of Alberta Hospital
