Liver pathology is a key diagnostic procedure in assessing liver disease. This chapter outlines a basic approach to liver biopsy assessment by evaluating architecture, portal tracts, parenchyma and a routine set of special stains. Information is provided about the differentiation of different patterns ...
While liver biopsy remains the gold standard for assessing liver pathology, its invasiveness and potential complications necessitate the development of non-invasive diagnostic methods. Advances in serological markers and imaging technologies strive to maintain diagnostic precision while reducing patient discomfort...
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...

liver biopsy. 3.4 Cirrhosis This is not well documented but is not uncommon. End-stage pathology is the same as for other specific liver condition or for senile change. The most likely clinical presentation is chronic, progressive weight loss. Diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy. Supportive treatment...
Fig. 4 outlines a clinical algorithm for the screening, evaluation, and management of pediatric MASLD, emphasizing the role of ALT thresholds, imaging modalities, and lifestyle modifications, as well as criteria for GI referral and consideration of liver biopsy. 8. Question 6: how effective is ...
Finally, an approach to the assessment of biopsies from probable metastatic tumours is presented, as this is one of the most common indications for liver mass biopsy for the practising pathologist.doi:10.1080/00313020310001648413Andrew Clouston
[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 hepatitis in NASH patients [77]. The primary mechanism through which ...
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 ...
Because bile duct loss is generally considered to be the most important diagnostic feature in needle biopsy specimens, the term ductopenic rejection has been most widely used as an alternative to chronic rejection. Other terms that have been used but which fail to recognize the full scope of ...
