Liver Biopsy In Delhi

Advanced diagnostic procedures for accurate liver disease assessment

Types of Liver Biopsy

  1. Percutaneous Liver Biopsy
    • Procedure: A needle is inserted via the skin into the liver under imaging guidance.
    • Use Cases: Most common for cirrhosis diagnosis, fatty liver, or suspected tumors.
    • Recovery: 4-6 hours of monitoring post-procedure.
  2. Transjugular Liver Biopsy
    • Technique: A catheter is threaded through the jugular vein to the liver, ideal for patients with bleeding disorders or ascites.
    • Advantage: Avoids puncturing the liver capsule, reducing the risks of liver biopsy.

Why is a Liver Biopsy Performed?

  • Cirrhosis Diagnosis: Confirms fibrosis stage and disease severity.
  • Autoimmune Hepatitis: Identifies inflammation patterns for targeted therapy.
  • Unexplained Jaundice/Liver Dysfunction: Rules out cancers or rare diseases.
  • Post-Transplant Monitoring: Assesses graft health.
