In short, yes it is possible. It could be another chronic liver disease. Only a liver biopsy can determine this accurately if blood tests and fibroscan/CT/MRI show nothing. Although errors in diagnosis are possible when interpreting a biopsy by a poorly trained pathologist.

Yes!And probably very very often.

Simple tests will rule it out so ask your Dr.
