Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Age \> 18 years (irrespective of sex)
Patients determined clinically to have liver cirrhosis needing EUS for other reasons
Patients determined clinically to be candidates for EUS guided liver biopsy
Elevated liver enzymes without obvious etiology
Clinical concern for cirrhosis requiring histological confirmation
Patients with known cirrhosis without diagnostic dilemma
Ability to provide informed consent and willing to participate
Exclusion
Surgically altered foregut anatomy which precludes safe endoscopic liver biopsy

Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 50,000/mL
Pregnancy (positive urine pregnancy test in females of childbearing age)
