A member asked:
Would i be able to take my pegylated interferon therapy after diagnosed w/ascites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I am assuming you have hep c cirrhosis with new ascites. Given a new due compensating symptom, treatment becomes more difficult. That does not mean it needs to stop, however best if you were managed at a tertiary care center.
