Abstract:
Background: Cirrhosis is a relatively common disease in Vietnam and many other countries. Cirrhosis develops slowly and affects the labour power and the ability of the patient\u2019s living. So it is necessary to detect and treat timely. Objectives: To evaluate some coagulation factors in cirrhotic patients and learn the relationship between coagulation and cirrhosis. Subjects and method: A descriptive, cross sectional study of various coagulation factors was conducted on 72 patients with cirrhosis in the Gastrointestinal Department of Thai Nguyen Central General Hospital from July 2007 to April 2008. The data was collected and analysedby medical statistic based on SPSS 10.0 software. Results: The proportion of haemostatic disorder with low platelet count was up to 50%. Chid-Pugh C group was the most decreased platelet group compared to Chid-Pugh A and Chid-Pugh B group. About coagulation disorder: prolonged APTT accounted for 12.5% and its increase corresponded with the seriousness of the disease; fibrinogen deficiency <2g/l was observed in 20.8% of the patients; the rate of prolonged prothrombin time was 54.2%; INR>l.7 was 19.4% of the patients and it increased gradually from mild to serious cirrhosis groups. DIC patients accounted for 29.2% of the subjects; among which, the rate of DIC in Chid A, Chid B, and Chid C groups were 10.5%, 25%, and 44.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The results proved that there was a close relationship between coagulation disorder and cirrhosis level.
