Retrospective study evaluates transjugular liver biopsy safety and diagnostic utility in acute liver failure, highlighting unclear impacts on clinical management.
Histopathological characterization obtained by transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) may theoretically contribute to clarification of the exact aetiology of acute liver failure (ALF). It's unclear whether the histopathological information from TJLB, due to the small specimen size, significantly contributes to diagnosing ALF causes, guiding therapy decisions, or predicting overall prognosis. This retrospective study aimed to analyse safety and clinical significance of TJLB in patients with ALF.
