How is a liver disease diagnosed in children?

Usually, laboratory tests can be done initially to evaluate the liver. If they are abnormal, then further studies can be done including imaging studies.

My urine culture report was sent to another lab for a bacteria resistance report. Why does this happen?

Probably because the original lab does not do this type of testing.

How long does it take for a biopsy report to come?

Normally a few days. Your doctor should have a report from pathology within a couple of days.
