How is a Liver Biopsy Performed?

There are several techniques for performing a liver biopsy:
1. Percutaneous Biopsy: This is the most common method where a needle is inserted through the abdomen into the liver.
2. Transjugular Biopsy: A catheter is inserted into a vein in the neck and guided to the liver, often used when there are blood clotting issues.
3. Laparoscopic Biopsy: A minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera to guide the biopsy.
