A member asked:
Why would you not do a liver biopsy if spleen enlarged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong organ: Solid organ biopsies are not "no-risk" procedures--so you would not just check while there. Most liver or spleen enlargements can be diagnosed by blood tests +/- imaging and save you the big needle.
