Liver biopsy is an integral part of evaluation of liver disease. Indications and techniques have developed to allow functional and prognostic liver assessment, along with biochemistry and dynamic imaging, in both diffuse and focal liver disease. However, non-invasive techniques are changing the way clinicians use liver biopsy.
肝活检是肝病评估不可或缺的一部分。其适应证和技术不断发展，以便在弥漫性和局灶性肝病中，结合生化检查和动态成像，对肝脏进行功能和预后评估。然而，非侵入性技术正在改变临床医生使用肝活检的方式。
