ABSTRACT
The authors conducted an investigation focusing mainly on the activities of the inhibitory factors of the coagulation and fibrinolysis processes in 35 normal adults and 72 liver cirrhosis and/or hepatoma patients. The activities of antithrombin III, protein C, and alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor were reduced to less than 50% in patients with decreased hepatic synthetic function while lupus anticoagulant was detected in more than 50% of patients with decreased hepatic synthetic function. Hemostatic abnormalities in advanced lived diseases may be caused partly by a decrease of coagulation and fibrinolysis inhibitors and the presence of lupus anticoagulant.
