Test Details
A liver biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of liver tissue is removed for examination under a microscope. Special stains can be used to enhance the visualization of specific structures or substances within the liver tissue.
Some commonly used special stains for liver biopsies include:
- Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain: This is a routine stain used to visualize the overall structure of the liver tissue, including hepatocytes (liver cells), blood vessels, and connective tissue.
- Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain: This stain is used to identify glycogen, a storage form of glucose, within liver cells. It can help in the diagnosis of certain liver diseases, such as glycogen storage diseases.
- Masson’s trichrome stain: This stain is used to differentiate collagen fibers (blue) from other tissue components. It can help in the evaluation of liver fibrosis or scarring.
- Perls’ Prussian blue stain: This stain is used to detect iron deposits within liver cells. It can be helpful in the diagnosis of iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis.
- Oil Red O stain: This stain is used to visualize lipid droplets within liver cells. It can be used to assess the presence of fatty liver disease.
These special stains, in combination with other laboratory tests and clinical information, can provide valuable insights into the underlying pathology of liver diseases. They can help in the diagnosis, grading, and staging of various liver conditions, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
