Liver Biopsy
A liver biopsy may be performed in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, although it is not necessary for diagnosis. The pathognomonic finding of periductal onion-skin fibrosis is rarely seen. However, a liver biopsy may be useful when the small ducts subtype of the primary sclerosing cholangitis or that associated with autoimmune hepatitis are suspected.[1][2]
