A member asked:
Had biopsy, the report says "consistent with aih with impending cirrhosis(inflammation grade 2 out of 4, fibrosis stage 5 out of 6)" what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver biopsy: The report indicates you have cirrhosis, a disease of your liver which can have many different causes. Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcohol, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Speak with your doctor for more information and treatment options.
