Hi, quick question for those of you in the UK who have had a liver biopsy. How long did you wait for the results? I had my biopsy 3 weeks ago and enquired yesterday when my follow up appointment with the consultant would be only to be told my biopsy results are not yet available. I had a transjugular biopsy if that makes any difference.
I'm getting pretty anxious now after seeing the numbers 13.3 on my Fibroscan last week!
Thanks in advance!

Hi hope this helps, I had my biopsy in October 2012 and didn't get my result till march 2013. It was a long time but didn't think about it as I really thought nothing was going to be wrong. I wouldn't worry to much about fibroscan score as they can sometimes be variable. Mine as been 8.9, 10.4 , 13.5 then 16.3 and now gone down to 10.3 so go figure. Hope you get some results soon and we are here if you need us for a bit of support.
Had my biopsy around 10th November 2017 and got the results back from my consultant around the 20th December. I am sure my GI had the results earlier but he did tell me that a panel of specialists get together to analyse the results and discuss way forward.
I’ve actually got an appointment tomorrow afternoon now. I phoned early last week to be told there’s no sign of the results to receiving an appointment for today on the weekend. Panicking slightly as I think it’s a very quick appointment if results have only been available less than a week!
