Steps of liver biopsy

The steps of liver biopsy are as follows: firstly, the location of puncture point should be determined by B-ultrasound examination of hepatitis B, and patients with obvious hepatomegaly can puncture under the costal margin.

Before liver biopsy, patients are usually disinfected and anesthetized. During the liver biopsy, the patient should keep his breathing calm. The doctor penetrated the skin through the puncture needle at the puncture point selected by B-ultrasound, and quickly pulled out the needle after entering the liver parenchyma. The whole process only takes 1-2 seconds.

What are the detailed steps of liver biopsy? During liver biopsy, patients should pay attention to patients with severe coagulation disorder or patients with highly infarcted jaundice. When the liver volume of patients with liver cirrhosis is obviously reduced and liver amyloidosis occurs, patients can not do liver biopsy. The requirements of liver biopsy will be more stringent, and patients must follow the instructions of the attending doctor.
