CIRRHOTIC COAGULOPATHY: A REBALANCED HEMOSTASIS
Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve University
PDF11 pages199 KB
Cirrhosis has long been considered a condition that increases the risk of bleeding due to a hypocoagulable state. However, recent findings indicate that patients with cirrhosis may also experience thrombotic complications, complicating management strategies. The review emphasizes the inadequacy of conventional coagulation tests in assessing bleeding risk and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of hemostasis in cirrhosis. It also discusses the implications for clinical practice, particularly in the context of invasive procedures.
