Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Liver biopsy should be performed in a hospital with a half day admission and if the facility is available, under USG or CT guidance. Liver biopsy is a simple procedure however complications are recorded in the literature.I use a mild sedative, 6- 8 hrs hospital/ nursing home admission and use USG guidance. Rarely I would need to use a CT in that case it has to be done in the CT room. Sometimes to save costs , shortcuts may be undertaken but I would not recommend them.
