Is it a standard procedure to get tested for hep c before your gull bladder is removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver dx: Not mandatory but a good precaution. A diseased liver is particularly susceptible to the hemodynamic changes that accompany surgery. On the other hand, operative risk is probably not increased in the vast majority of patients with liver disease, including most of those with chronic hepatitis c, in whom liver function is preserved. Your blood is tested anyway if blood transfusions are anticipated.
