Liver transplantation in man--IV, Haemorrhage and thrombosis

British Medical Journal
P T FluteR Y Calne

Abstract

Blood coagulation and fibrinolytic factors have been measured in 13 patients treated by liver transplantation. During operation intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis were increased, but seldom to a degree which would cause abnormal bleeding. Measurement of the catabolism of radioactive fibrinogen showed that increased intravascular coagulation continued for long periods after the operation. Despite secondarily increased fibrinolysis, there was a high incidence of thrombosis. Treatment with anticoagulants or with fibrinolysis inhibitors may be valuable in these patients.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
