Overview

The liver has a central role in hemostasis. It is the major site of synthesis of the coagulation factors, inhibitors and components of fibrinolytic system. The liver also functions as a site for clearance of their activated forms from the circulation. Liver disease leads to a shift in the delicately controlled hemostatic system in both primary and secondary hemostasis.

Key words:
liver disease – thrombocytopenia – platelet dysfunction – coagulation abnormalities – DIC
