What Does This Liver Test Report Indicate?
I had a liver test done that revealed some scar tissue on my liver. My doctor sent me to see a specialist. He wants me to have a biopsy of the liver but I m hesitant because my aunt died from that procedure. What happens if I decide not to have the biopsy?
