Abstract

The liver biopsy is one of the most commonly used and important diagnostic methods in clinical hepatology. Transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) can safely used in patients with severe coagulopathy and/or prehepatic ascites, thereby expanding the indication of liver biopsy. However, there is currently no TJLB-specific procedure guidance, standard process for pathological sampling and tissue specimen processing in China. Therefore, the Chinese Society of Hepatology of the Chinese Medical Association invited experts in the relevant fields to compile a consensus regarding the indications, contraindications, procedure methods, pathological specimen collection, tissue process, and other issues with the aim to facilitate the more reasonable application of TJLB in clinical practice.
