What is meant by LIVER BIOPSY? Is there any problem by doing this(I mean any side effects)? How it can be done? They told me to purchase a liver biopsy gun.. Please give reply as early as possible.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. In liver biopsy a small liver tissue is taken with the help of a thick needle and is examined for the effects produced on your liver by the infection. There is minimal risk involved, and it is a safe OLD procedure. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
