Are the client’s liver enzymes stable, increasing or decreasing?
Underwriting Comment: Clients with Hepatitis C are usually aware of the status of their liver enzymes. They may not know the exact readings but they do know if their condition is stable, improving or deteriorating. 5) What medications is the client currently taking? Underwriting Comment: The client’s current medications are an important “underwriting clue” to possible complications of Hepatitis C or other medical problems (you can find out any medication’s color code in Pharmacy Tutor). 6) How much alcohol does the client consume on a daily basis? Underwriting Comment: Clients with known liver disease are usually advised to curtail or quit their alcohol consumption. With liver disease, even modest amounts of alcohol can increase the severity and complications of the problem. © Copyright 2009, RiskTutor Inc.
