Hi there, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Before doing liver biopsy, certain tests are done to assess the bleeding and coagulation. A good platelet count (count more than at last one lakh) and a normal PT/INR test makes the procedure safe.PT/INR is to check how good blood can coagulate. So if these tests are already done and if they are normal, then I would say liver biopsy is safe for your son. Is this answer helpful?
