ABSTRACT
Transjugular liver biopsy [TJLB] was performed in six patients in whom percutaneous liver biopsy was contraindicated because of coagulation disorder and / or ascites. An adequate biopsy allowing histological diagnosis was obtained in all six patients [100%]. Major complications were none. TJLB is a valuable diagnostic technique when percutaneous liver biopsy is considered unsafe
