A member asked:
What types of cirrhosis can a liver biopsy and fibroscan miss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are okay man!: A Biosy that is adequate and that does not show cirrhosis rules out cirrhosis and our question is how to help a thoughtful guy like yourself to be comfortable. A second pathologist reading is available if you wish, or a consult with a specialist in emotions.
