Liver Biopsy

I just had a liver biopsy and I am waiting for the results. I have no idea what any of the "levels" are or anything. Is there anyone out there that can maybe break it down briefly for me before my doc does so I don't feel like a fool? Thank-you.

Here is hoping that your test results come back really well - most of us have been there and know that feeling all too well of waiting.

You'll do a lot of waiting for results (on treatment) with this disease and it never really gets any eaiser but it does teach us patience of some sort  I guess in the end.
