Procedures
Liver Biopsy
- A liver biopsy is used to determine the presence of inflammation, fibrosis and to help diagnose various liver diseases.
- During this procedure, the patient is fully conscious. A physician numbs the area around the liver using a local anesthetic (similar to that used by a dentist), and then using a long, narrow needle obtains a tiny piece of liver tissue.
- After the procedure, the patient is kept in recovery for four hours for monitoring. If the patient experiences any pain or discomfort, a nurse can administer pain medications. Since these medications have a lingering effect, the patient will not be able to drive or work for the remainder of the day, and therefore must have a ride home.
