liver biopsies

What are the Types of Liver Biopsies?

There are mainly three types of liver biopsies:
1. Percutaneous Liver Biopsy: A needle is inserted through the skin to obtain a liver tissue sample.
2. Transjugular Liver Biopsy: A needle is passed through a vein in the neck and guided to the liver, often used when there is a risk of bleeding.
3. Laparoscopic Liver Biopsy: Performed using a laparoscope, usually when a visual assessment of the liver is also required.
