Quiz & Evaluation

A brave gastroenterologist was willing to do a needle biopsy of Mr. Weiser's liver.
  • It took a lot of convincing before Mr. Weiser signed the permit for the procedure, 
  • and a lot of vitamin K before the GI dude would go through with it. Weiser's protime did come into the reference range.
  • Of course, the GI doc's courage was bolstered some by the prospect of also getting to do the gastroscopy.


The liver biopsy.

The gastroscopy results.

Alright, so what the heck does this mean?                             Back
