Liver Biopsy - Procedure, Indications, Complications & Advantages | Liver Biopsy Procedure

Liver biopsy is a procedure in which a small needle is inserted into the liver to collect a liver tissue sample. The tissue is then analyzed in a laboratory to help doctors diagnose a variety of disorders and diseases in the liver.

A liver biopsy procedure can also be used to estimate the degree of liver damage, to grade and stage hepatitis B and C, and to determine the best treatment for the damage or disease.

A liver biopsy test can be used to diagnose or monitor a number of liver disease and disorders. Some conditions that affect the liver and may require a biopsy includes:

🔵 Alcoholic liver disease
🔵 Autoimmune hepatitis
🔵 Unexplained yellowing of the skin (jaundice)
🔵 A liver abnormality found on ultrasound, CT scan, or nuclear scan
🔵 Unexplained enlargement of the liver
🔵 Chronic hepatitis (B or C)
🔵 Hemochromatosis (too much iron in the blood)
🔵 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (FLD)
🔵 Primary biliary cirrhosis (which leads to scarring on the liver)
🔵 Primary sclerosing cholangitis (which affects the liver’s bile ducts)
🔵 Wilson’s disease (an inherited and degenerative liver disease caused by excess copper in the body)
