Natural course of subjects with elevated liver tests and normal liver histology.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver biopsy (LB) is performed if non-invasive work-up of liver disease is inconclusive. The examination of liver tissue occasionally reveals normal histology. Long-term follow-up of such patients has not been performed. METHODS We identified a total 70 subjects from our LB database with elevated liver tests and normal liver histology after a mean of 90.5 ± 52.3 (range 15-21...
