The synergistic effects of iron overload and ethanol on the liver of mice were studied over a period of 46 weeks. The determination of several parameters (iron, calcium, magnesium, alpha-hydroxyproline, lipid peroxidation, hepatomegalic and splenomegalic indexes) showed that ferrous and ferric lactates provoke an increase of calcium in the liver, higher than that of ethanol in the control animals. The relationship between liver calcium homeostasis modification and the increase of collagen and lipid peroxidation is discussed.

Thrombin and plasmin generation were assessed in patients with endemic hepatosplenic schistomiasis (15 hepatosplenomegalic, 15 splenomegalic, 15 with advanced hepatic fibrosis and ascites and 15 hepatosplenic patients with hematemesis). Prolongation of prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time, thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, a decrease in antithrombin III and protein C and S levels and elevation in fibrinopeptide A, D-dimer and thrombin-antithrombin complex levels were detected in all groups. The deficit in hemostatic parameters was more pronounced with the advancement of the disease and was maximal in the hematemesis group.
