I do not recall his Hep C status - whether he treated
and cleared - but a
low platelet count like his is often associated with cirrhosis. 23,000 is a pretty low count and though I have seen liver transplant recipients with borderline platelet counts due to, what I assume are, some bone marrow suppression issues 23,000 is too low. I would see his transplant team or a hepatologist knowledgeable about transplant issues.
