A member asked:

What are focal fibrosis and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver and why would they both be in my biopsy? and could they have not gone deep enough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Was biopsy directed?: Liver biopsies are performed for a variety of reasons--pre-treatment, post-transplant, assess progression of disease, evaluate known or suspected lesions. Liver fibrosis is scarring. In what context was the liver biopsy required & what's your diagnosis? Are you consuming alcohol, taking birth control, have known liver pathology or hepatitis, what are your underlying co-morbidities?
