Dr. James Lin answered

Talk with Doc...: Clinically, your functional reserve, especially in liver, has declined to its marginal state so it would be most advisable for you to talk and work with the prescribing doc closely and timely for your current concern instead of online, because the margin of error for managing your individual conditions is narrow.
