The conventional transjugular liver biopsy technique results in a non-targeted biopsy and is usually reserved for diffuse liver diseases. The transjugular approach should not be used if a targeted tissue sample is required. Instead, such patients require a targeted biopsy using a technique such as ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy, or a ...

2011年1月27日 · I do liver biopsies occasionally, and I usually use a lidocaine and a little versed (midazolam). I do them through the side (right into the liver). It tends to hurt more. If they went through your neck then you had a transjugular liver biopsy. The radiologists I have worked with either give no sedation, or just a little versed to take the edge off.

2020年12月19日 · I’ve had low-normal platelets since 2013 (115-180 range). Had a Chest CT for unrelated issue which showed a mildly enlarged spleen (13.2 cm). Doctor ordered an ultrasound of my liver to investigate my splenomegaly. Liver was normal in size and texture, however showed evidence of fatty liver. No evidence of portal hypertension.

2022年1月16日 · The doctor said, "Let's do it." I felt he was not taking me seriously. He went with me for the scan and his facial expression changed during it. He told the student that it was indicating a 4 which is the highest score. I read BMI can influence this score. He told me that I would need a transjugular liver biopsy and promptly left with the student.

2024年2月18日 · Hi everyone. I’m getting a liver biopsy tomorrow and I am really nervous. I have medical anxiety and the thought of a tube being stuck in my neck when I am awake is freaking me out. Any words of advice or has anyone else had a Transjugular Liver Biopsy?

2021年1月15日 · Transjugular liver biopsy was really uneventful and not painful except a slightly sore neck the next day. I was sedated and really only remember bits and pieces. GI clinic called and shared the results with me the other day and it’s all good news. There is no portal hypertension, no steatosis or fatty liver, and no fibrosis.

2020年11月23日 · Hi everyone. I wanted to give an account of my experience with a liver biopsy in case anyone is going through the same thing. I was a bit apprehensive because it was done with conscious sedation and the last time I had conscious sedation for an endoscopy, I felt EVERYTHING. My appointment was for 11am, but I was instructed to arrive at 9am.

2023年11月10日 · My husband (68m) had his 2nd liver biopsy this week - the last one was 6 months ago and resulted in a diagnosis of autoimmune and cirrhosis. His hepatologist ordered this 2nd one as he feels that my husband hasn’t responded as well as expected to the prednisone and Azathioprine that he has been on for the past 6 months (standard treatment for ...
