Liver biopsy

Hi Janie,
You know that when your platelets are low the risk of bleeding is greater and it can be dangerous to perform liver biopsy.

The enlargement of liver (and of spleen) can be due to MDS. I should not want to have a liver biopsy but I have had a MR examination of liver and heart to see if I had iron i these organs - I had no traces of iron.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
