Abstract

Spontaneous hematomas in cirrhotic patients are uncommon. Severe coagulopathy in advanced hepatic disease is characterized by both coagulation factor deficiencies and accelerated fibrinolysis. Hyperfibrinolysis in cirrhosis is a result of excess fibrin breakdown leading to defective hemostasis. We present a case of spontaneous hematomas with an acute drop in hemoglobin level, in a patient with cirrhosis which was due to primary hyperfibrinolysis.
