Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are having hepatitis C. Due to this your liver functions became abnormal. Your proteins in blood are less because these are formed in the liver leading to hypoproteinemia. This leads to swelling in legs, testicles and stomach.Your counts are barely minimal.You need care of physical. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
