It should take 2-5 business days usually to get liver biopsy results. David Gordon, M.D. "To improve the health of the communities we serve. That is why we are here!"

The biopsy report takes 24 - 48 hours depending on the findings and if there is a need to do additional tests to confirm the results.
Biopsy of soft tissue is usually available in 1-2 days. If special studies or consultations are needed it may take a week or so.
