Liver Biopsy Findings in Patients with Hematopoietic-cell Transplantation

Liver dysfunction is a frequent complication after hematopoietic-cell transplantation (HCT). Liver biopsy has an important role for confirming the diagnosis of graft versus host disease (GVHD) or other liver diseases. The histological features of GVHD are not specific, and GVHD and other coexisting diseases may be present in the same biopsy, which makes the histologic interpretation of the liver biopsy more complex and challenging. The aim of the study is to improve the present diagnostic criteria.
