Background: Conventional tests of coagulation which only measure procoagulant factors do not correctly estimate the actual in vivo hemostatic balance in cirrhosis. This prospective multicenter study was conducted to evaluate safety of various invasive procedures in the presence of abnormal coagulation tests and to correlate conventional coagulation parameters with clinically significant bleeding in cirrhotics.
Methods: Three hundred and eighty patients (median age 54 years, 287 males) enrolled in the study were divided into two groups (A and B), according to the presence or absence of abnormal coagulation parameters (defined as INR ≥1.
Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), defined differently by different associations, lacks consensus on clinical profile, precipitating events and factors predicting mortality. This prospective multicentric study was conducted to determine the relevance of European Association for Study of Liver (EASL) and Asia Pacific Association for Study of Liver (APASL) definitions and to determine prognostic factors predicting the survival.
Methods: Consecutive patients over a 3-month period with any form of acute deterioration were evaluated for presence of ACLF, as defined by APASL or EASL-Chronic Liver Failure (CLIF) criteria.
Background And Aims: Infections are a common and serious complication among patients with cirrhosis. We assessed the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical consequences of bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients.
Methods: In this multicenter prospective study, all patients with cirrhosis of liver with different infections were analyzed.
Background: Snake bite envenomation is a major public health concern in developing countries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is as important cause of mortality in patients with vasculotoxic snake bite.
Aims: This study was to evaluate the clinical profile of snake bite patients and to determine the predictors of developing AKI following snake bite.
