This article outlines a practical approach to the diagnosis of DILI on liver biopsy, including the common patterns of injury observed in drug- and toxin-induced liver pathology and prognostic pathological features that may be associated with the outcome of patients with DILI....
This chapter outlines practical approaches for rapid on-site assessment during fine needle aspiration or biopsy of liver lesions. It is important to classify the lesions into primary hepatocyte lesions, primary bile duct lesion lesions, and metastatic tumors. Well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma or...

making it a viable strategy for the treatment of NAFLD and NASH [69]. Additionally, exercise has been shown to ameliorate metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia to some extent [75,76]. Evidence from liver biopsy confirms that exercise can mitigate or improve hepa...
On the other hand, tissue-invasive end-organ disease is diagnosed through biopsy confirmation and includes conditions such as CMV-associated hepatitis, pneumonia, retinitis, or gastroenteritis [8,9]. Apart from the direct effects of CMV infection and disease, it is essential to consider the “...
Liver biopsy remains an option when other diagnostic methods are inconclusive [14]. While most individuals with NAFLD have no inflammation, those with both fat and inflammation in the liver―a condition known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)―face an increased risk of fibrosis and cirrhosis ...
Liver transplantation and liver biopsy are two medical procedures related to the liver, but they serve different purposes. Liver Transplantation: Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure where a diseased or damaged liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. It is usually performed in...
and there is risk of serious hemorrhage. The needle should be introduced at an angle to the kidney surface. After the procedure, the kidney should be carefully examined for any signs of hemorrhage. Biopsy of focal lesions can be performed if they lie in the cortex. If such lesions are situ...
To exclude diffuse micrometastasis, a liver biopsy was obtained and displayed significant cholestasis but no tumor tissue. The patient died 3 months later without evi- dence of metastatic tumor spread. An autopsy was not performed. Case 3 A 72-year old man presented with non-specific abdominal ...
Table 1 outlines the baseline characteristics of 11,206 adults with histologically-confirmed MASLD and 51,856 matched general population controls. Among MASLD patients, the average age at index biopsy was 53 years, and 45% were female. Simple steatosis was found in 7,642 (68.2%), while 1,257...
