Liver biopsy can potentially diagnose many liver conditions, but among the given options, only cirrhosis, hepatitis, and cancer can be diagnosed through liver biopsy. Goodpasture's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that affects the lungs and kidneys, while celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine. Therefore, neither of these conditions can be diagnosed through a liver biopsy.
