Liver Biopsy Can Be Safely Performed in Pediatric Acute Liver Failure to Aid in Diagnosis and Management.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
October 2018
Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, IL.
Objectives: Liver biopsy can be a valuable tool to help determine the etiology of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF), but is often not performed due to safety concerns. The primary aim was to describe the incidence of major complications after liver biopsy performed in the setting of PALF.
Methods: Medical records from 2006 to 2016 were reviewed.

Histopathologic evaluation of liver biopsy specimens yields information that is not otherwise obtainable and is frequently essential for diagnosing hepatic disease. Percutaneous needle biopsy, laparoscopic biopsy, and surgical biopsy each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Care should be taken to ensure an adequate amount of tissue is collected for meaningful histologic evaluation.

Background: To date, liver biopsy is the only means of reliable diagnosis for fatty liver disease (FLD). Owing to the inevitable biopsy-associated health risks, however, the development of valid noninvasive diagnostic tools for FLD is well warranted.
Aim: We evaluated a particular metabolic profile with regard to its ability to diagnose FLD and compared its performance to that of established phenotypes, conventional biomarkers and disease-associated genotypes.
