Raised titres of HBV and HBC markers are thus impoant etiological predictors. Percutaneous liver biopsy is diagnostic provided the sample is taken from an area localized by ultrasound or CT -Harrison Fibromellar variant grows slowly and is associated with a longer survival if treated - Harrison (It has thus a better prognosis)
Not common in Asian
Liver biopsy is diagnostic
Raised titre of HBV and HCV antibodies
Fibrolameller type is having good prognosis
