First Doctor Visit

[Guest guest]

I have my first visit with a hepatologist next week. Can someone give me a

quick rundown on what to expect. I assume bloodwork and probably the

recommendation for a liver biopsy. What questions do I need to ask?

I currently have rheumatoid arthritis and neuropathy problems with my leg

that evidently are due to cryoglobulinemia. There's no doubt that this is

from HCV.

Any information on getting the most out of this first visit would be

appreciated.

Thanks for the info on questions to ask. I'm going to jot down the ones I

feel are relevant to my situation and take them with me next week when I

meet with the doctor. I'll leave room for answers and try to jot down as

much as I can.
