Hi doctor, I have a few doubts regarding the pathology reports. Please clarify. It seems like advances in pathology is increasing diagnostic confidence. Can alcoholic liver disease biopsy result ever be 100% accurate by itself? Labeling something as "consistent with" could be a real problem for all involved if the patient insists on social drinking history only. Would use of chemotherapy for breast cancer and hyperlipidemia prohibit a 100% definitive ALD diagnosis?
Hi. For further doubts consult a pathologist online -->
