Liver Biopsy

0 Recommendations

Has anyone had extremely high liver function tests and needed a liver biopsy? My tests seem to fluctuate quite often and originally, my doctor thought it was from the lipids in my TPN. However, I now have use TPN without lipids and my liver function tests have skyrocketed.
