An algorithm for selecting a liver biopsy technique in children with chronic hepatic pathologies
A technique for liver biopsy has to be selected keeping in mind the amount of histological material necessary for accurate verification of the diagnosis and findings of laboratory and instrumental examination so as to reduce the risk of complications and, at the same time, to obtain the most informative hepatobioptats. The authors describe an algorithm for selecting a technique for biopsy sampling which has to be made depending on findings of laboratory and instrumental examination in children with chronic liver diseases.
