Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
In liver biopsy a small liver tissue is taken with the help of a thick needle and is examined for the effects produced on your liver by the infection. There is minimal risk involved and it is a safe OPD procedure.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
