There are plenty of villains driving health care costs and ultimately killing sick people but some things really burn me. Don't read this piece if you have a heart condition. I'm not responsible if you read this and hurt yourself

Question is a liver biopsy the best diagnostic tool? Had the fibroscan.

Any other tests ?questions ?

biopsy is the best conceptually even though it does have an error rate. If you don't want to go biopsy the elastography version of an MRI is the best non-invasive method just expensive.

Not what you're looking for?
