Anyone had one of these? My liver consultant dude told me that I may have to have one in 6 months if something or other doesn't return to normal in my liver. I think it's inflamed or something.
Any way, he mentioned that there is a "slight" risk in having one but I didn't ask any more questions.
So anyone had one and what is this so called slight "risk"?
Big needle in my liver doesn't sound to appealing, would rather a kick in nads tbh.

anyway i know the idea of having a needle going in you to take out a piece of you liver doesnt sound appealing but you'll be under local anesthetic so you wont feel a thing.
theres nothing to worry about really, i still might need to have one but its not been confirmed.
anyway what hospital do you go to?
And the risks will be those of any operation or minor procedure - bleeding and infection. But those risks are low because it is a small needle that they use.
