HEMOSTATIC POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT OF PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION BY LOW-FREQUENCY PIEZOELECTRIC THROMBOELASTOGRAPHY.

Objective: The aim: Our aim was to assess the hemostatic potential of patients with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation by LPTEG global coagulation assay, to investigate changes in LPTEG parameters according to the stage of liver cirrhosis and compare results with liver cirrhosis group.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study including 70 patients with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation, 36 patients with liver cirrhosis and 20 healthy individuals. LPTEG parameters were measured using ARP-01M "Mednord" in order to assess coagulation abnormalities.
