Though your baby looks absolutely normal to you but abnormalities in his liver function tests have prompted your doctor to advise live biopsy.
Liver biopsy is essential for histological assessment of liver and serve as a significant method in assisting clinicians in therapeutic management decisions.
Liver biopsy can diagnose cholestatic liver diseases, steatosis, vascular abnormalities, infectious diseases, and infiltrative or storage diseases, autoimmune hepatitis etc. and accordingly your doctor will decide further course of treatment.
