Is cirrhosis liver puncture harmful to the body

First of all, it can be determined that liver piercing is very safe and does no harm to the body.

Liver biopsy is important for understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of liver diseases, determining diagnosis and determining treatment. However, because the liver is a solid organ, many people think that it is harmful to the body to get puncture. Therefore, patients with bad liver disease will not do it if they can not do it, hoping to replace it with other examinations.

Liver puncture is both an examination method and a treatment method. When some liver diseases with unknown diagnosis are encountered clinically, liver puncture should be considered. For example, hepatitis is suspected and difficult to be diagnosed, or pathological examination is needed to assist typing. Patients with chronic low fever, who are caused by liver disease after thorough examination and have excluded other patients; Hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly of unknown cause, or need to be distinguished from liver tuberculosis, fatty liver and other diseases; Liver damage caused by virus and drug is unknown, etc. In addition, patients with liver abscess can extract the abscess through liver puncture, at the same time, they can also inject drugs through the puncture needle, so that some patients avoid the pain of surgery.

After liver puncture, some patients may have temporary pain in the liver area or through the liver, but the general reaction is mild and does not need to be treated. After 24 years, it can be relieved by itself. At present, some hospitals use B-ultrasound-guided fine needle puncture, which has the advantages of small damage and accurate positioning, especially for determining the nature of intrahepatic space occupying diseases.

Some people believe that liver puncture damages the "vitality", so when doctors propose to do liver puncture, they are often very nervous and worried, and often feel discomfort in one way or another after surgery. When doctors explain in detail to patients, the discomfort will disappear quickly, which shows that mental factors account for a large proportion. However, if the patient has bleeding tendency or other contraindications, it should be delayed or not done.
