“…Percutaneous or transjugular biopsies are used to obtain samples from patients suffering from disorders that involve a diffuse change in the liver (3,4). By contrast, image-guided needle biopsies are necessary for focal diseases/lesions (5,6). Laparoscopic liver biopsy enables the gross features of the liver to be assessed prior to taking the biopsy.…”

“…Routine histological evaluation of liver biopsies involves assessment of inflammation, cellular changes involving hepatocytes and bile ducts, abnormal accumulation of various substances, the extent of the liver injury, and/or fibrosis. The liver conditions in which a biopsy is most commonly performed include viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disorder (NAFLD), autoimmune disorders, drug/toxin-induced liver injury (including alcoholic liver disease, ALD), cholestatic diseases, metabolic/inherited disorders, and hepatic masses (2,3,5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). In the post-transplant setting, liver biopsies are used for the evaluation of organ rejection, infections, surgical complications, and disease recurrence.…”
