Liver biopsy diagnosis of hepatitis: clues to clinically-meaningful reporting.
The focus of this review is on "hepatitis"; diagnostic considerations of common adult medical liver diseases are presented, including chronic hepatitis C and B, autoimmune hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, and chronic cholestatic liver diseases. Processing, protocol stains, and final reporting of findings are discussed.
