That's the reason for the biopsy. The result will tell the diagnosis.

It is not possible to tell the cause of cirrhosis by MRI. The biopsy of the liver will likely be able to distinguish the causes of the cirrhosis. You should follow up with your gastroenterologist after the biopsy to discuss the results. Good luck.
