Percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is the golden standard for diagnosing chronic liver disease (CLD) even if it is still debated if and how much a single liver specimen might represent the histological status of the entire liver. A study was conducted to determine the diagnostic value of PLB comparing the histological score of two liver specimens collected in the same patient on the hepatic right and left lobe. The role of PLB for diagnosing CLD is confirmed.

Abstract
Percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is the golden standard for diagnosing chronic liver disease (CLD) even if it is still debated if and how much a single liver specimen might represent the histological status of the entire liver. A study was conducted to determine the diagnostic value of PLB comparing the histological score of two liver specimens collected in the same patient on the hepatic right and left lobe. The role of PLB for diagnosing CLD is confirmed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
