The diagnostic yield of 101 consecutive percutaneous liver biopsies was assessed. Adequate tissue was obtained in most specimens. Even in the presence of an adequate specimen, other procedures were often necessary to rule out other diagnostic possibilities not explained nor completely ruled out by percutaneous liver biopsy alone. With the current diagnostic procedures available to the clinician which have low morbidity and low mortality, the use of blind percutaneous liver biopsy as an initial diagnostic step in certain types of liver disease should be reassessed.
对连续101例经皮肝穿刺活检的诊断率进行了评估。大多数标本都获得了足够的组织。即使有足够的标本，通常也需要其他检查来排除仅经皮肝穿刺活检无法解释或不能完全排除的其他诊断可能性。鉴于临床医生目前可用的诊断方法具有低发病率和低死亡率，对于某些类型的肝病，将盲目经皮肝穿刺活检作为初始诊断步骤的做法应重新评估。
