Overview

Liver biopsy can be used to identify the definite etiology of acute liver failure. A percutaneous liver biopsy is often contraindicated due to the risk of coagulopathy and overt bleeding. Transjugular liver biopsy is helpful in the workup of acute liver failure if there is a risk of bleeding and findings of biopsy depends on the etiology of the acute liver failure. Liver biopsy can identify the definite cause of acute liver failure such as Wilson disease, autoimmune hepatitis, malignant infiltration or acute fatty liver of pregnancy.
