This course explores many common diseases and provides information regarding how a liver biopsy, sometimes in combination with special stains, assists the pathologist and clinician in diagnosing these diseases. Upon completion of this course, the histotechnologist will have a greater understanding of the optimal histotechniques used to create slides that are adequate for diagnosis, develop a foundational knowledge about the anatomy of a liver biopsy (as well as common diseases), and also identify artifacts, special stains, and pigments that are specific to liver biopsies that may be used to assist in diagnosis.
