In a case where a patient has been already diagnosed with fatty liver, and liver enzyme levels have been lowered, a liver biopsy isn't recommended.

Would a biopsy be appropriate if:
-Patient has been diagnosed with Fatty Liver
-enzymes had spiked in the past but are now within normal range
-Has had growing consistent aching on right side at the bottom of the rib cage for several weeks (appendix issues have been ruled out)
