A member asked:

Can i do a liver biopsy if the platelet count is 57, prot time is 15.1, inr is 1.2, ptt is 33.6? will that cause excessive liver bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let doctor decide: I trust that you are not the one doing the biopsy. Depending on why a biopsy is needed, your doctor will decide if the risk of bleeding is outweighed by the information a biopsy will provide.
