A member asked:
He has hcv with chirrosis and diabetes type ii. his dr. told him to take 350 mg iron because he's so anemic but won't iron increase replication of hvc?

Anemia more imp: If he has already developed cirrhosis, HCV is a lesser concern than anemia. He is probably losing blood in his intestine and it is important to replenish the iron. What is his hemoglobin?
