| Response from Dr. McGovern
 He has a relatively low viral load and modest elevations of ALT. He also has a mild decrease in his white blood cell count and a decrease in his platelet counts. He may be a candidate for a liver biopsy. You and your husband should discuss this with his physician. | ||||||||
