“Is anesthesia required for a liver biopsy?”

You will receive a local anesthetic at the biopsy site. Sometimes, general anesthesia depending on the type of lesion. Liver biopsies results usually takes from 12 to 24 hours even a week, depending on the findings an any additional tests that might be needed to be performed for the final diagnosis. Thank you.

Yeah its preferable I do all my liver biopsies with conscious sedation
