Presentation Transcript

  1. Liver Biopsy San Antonio | Gastroenterologist TX The liver is the largest organ in the body. It is found high in the right upper abdomen, behind the ribs. The liver is remarkable, quietly making many proteins, eliminating waste products, and participating in the general metabolism and nutrition of the body. It even has the power to regenerate itself. However, there are many different problems that can occur in the liver and some can cause permanent damage. These conditions include virus infections, reactions to drugs or alcohol, tumors, hereditary conditions, and problems with the body’s immune system. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/liver-biopsy/

  2. Evaluating a Liver Condition The physician will always take a medical history and perform a physical exam. Blood studies, known as liver function tests (LFT), give an overview of the health of the liver. If LFT results are persistently abnormal, the physician will then perform additional medical studies to determine the exact cause of the problem. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/liver-biopsy/

  3. What is a Biopsy? A biopsy is a tiny sample of body tissue — in this case, liver tissue. The tissue is prepared and stained in a laboratory, so the physician can view it under a microscope. This usually helps the physician make a specific diagnosis and determine the extent and seriousness of the condition. It is vital information for determining treatment. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/liver-biopsy/
