How the liver is examined – the medical examination of the liver (inspection, palpation), imaging methods (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and functional tests are generally painless procedures, which are best performed on an empty stomach, as the biliary system is examined at the same time.
The livertissue sampling (“blind” liverbiopsy, ultrasound-guided targeted liver biopsy) causes little pain, provided the patient cooperates with the doctor and shows a little self-discipline, and it usually requires one night in hospital.
