Liver biopsy does help with diagnosis. Please have them put you in twilight sleep at least. My first one was without even pain medicine and it was almost unbearable. I almost passed out. From then on I always told them only way I would have it done was to be out. I have had about 4 done. I have non-alcoholic cirrhosis.
