What to expect

If a liver biopsy is needed to determine damage severity, a thin needle is used to quickly remove a small piece of liver tissue under local anesthesia. Hospitalization is usually not required unless food and liquids cannot be retained.

Safety and risks

Liver biopsies are generally safe, with minor pain at the insertion site. Chronic liver disease can progress if not monitored regularly.
