Is a liver biopsy often done several weeks after a transplant?
In most UK liver transplant centres, it is not considered "routine" practice to do a liver biopsy several weeks after transplant if the patient has a normal liver function. However some centres will offer a liver biopsy at 3 year, 5 year and/or 10 year intervals, regardless of how good the liver function happens to be. Within several weeks of transplant the possibility of liver rejection is highest, so if rejection is even at all to be suspected of occurring a biopsy will be taken pretty swiftly.

Where can bleeding occur in liver cancer patients?
In liver cancer patients, bleeding can occur in different locations, posing various challenges. The primary sites of concern are: Within the Liver Tumor: Bleeding can occur within the liver tumors themselves. Liver cancer often involves the development of tumors that can be fragile and prone to bleeding. Gastrointestinal Tract: Bleeding may extend into the gastrointestinal tract. This can result in symptoms such as bloody stools or vomiting of blood. The proximity of the liver to the digestive system makes this a potential site for bleeding complications. Portal Hypertension: Liver cancer can lead to portal hypertension, an increase in blood pressure within the portal vein. This condition may cause varices, enlarged and swollen veins in the digestive tract, which can rupture and lead to bleeding. Impaired Blood Clotting: Liver cancer can affect the liver's ability to produce clotting factors, leading to impaired blood clotting. This can result in an increased risk of bleeding both within the liver and in other parts of the body.
