Liver Pathology

The Liver Pathology lab offers prompt, skillful reading of core needle biopsies. In 2015 we diagnosed 77 liver allograft biopsies. Biopsies are read by a pathologist the day after procurement with a same day interpretation available for urgent cases and for all liver transplant patients.
