HCV and coumadin Jan 31, 2010 My husband has chronic hepatitis C, with minimal liver scarring. He was recently prescribed Coumadin in connection with an episode of atrial fibrillation. The pharmacist said it can affect the liver, so we are wondering if coumadin is safe for persons with only minimal liver scarring. Thank you. |

| Response from Dr. McGovern
 The response to coumadin may be exaggerated in patients with cirrhosis. Your husband should do well with routine monitoring. | |||||||||
