What diagnostic tools are used in histology to diagnose liver disorders?
Histological examination of liver biopsies is a crucial diagnostic tool. Techniques like H&E staining, special stains for fibrosis (e.g., Masson's trichrome), and immunohistochemical markers (e.g., for distinguishing HCC from metastases) are commonly used. Advanced techniques like electron microscopy and molecular pathology can provide additional diagnostic information.
