Liver biopsy in kids: a look at disease patterns
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study reviews liver biopsies from children under 18 years old to understand the types of liver diseases they have and how accurate the biopsy is for diagnosis. It may help families learn more about what liver conditions can show up in childhood.
