The relationship between fibrinolysis, anticoagulation system indexes and serum albumin in patients with liver cirrhosis / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship between fibrinolysis,anticoagulation system indexes and serum albumin (ALB) in patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods One hundred and thirty-seven patients with liver cirrhosis were enrolled.Serum ALB,D-dimer (D-D),tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA),plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1),protein C (PC),protein S (PS) and antithrombin-Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) levels were measured.Results D-D level was increased with deterioration of liver function.D-D levels were (0.38 ± 0.24),(0.58 ± 0.43) and (0.90 ± 0.55) mg/L in Child-Pugh class A,B and C,respectively.PC,PS and AT-Ⅲ levels were decreased with deterioration of liver function.PC levels were (3.29 ± 1.04),(2.50 ± 1.27) and (2.29 ± 1.05)mg/L in Child-Pugh class A,B and C,respectively.PS levels were (20.74 ± 5.91),(17.97 ± 5.26) and (17.79 ± 5.12) mg/L,respectively.AT-Ⅲ levels were (104.62 ± 8.59)％,(101.76 ± 10.08)％ and (92.91 ± 10.48)％,respectively.D-D showed negative correlation with ALB (r =-0.402,P ＜ 0.01).On the contrary,PC,PS and AT-Ⅲ levels showed positive correlation with ALB (r =0.266,0.286 and 0.405,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Fibrinolysis and anticoagulation system indexes are changed with deterioration of liver function and are related with ALB directly.The indexes may be a helpful tool to evaluate the liver function in patients with liver cirrhosis.
