Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In liver cirrhosis (LC),the activity of von Willebrand factor (vWF)-cleaving enzyme ADAMTS13 is reduced in LC patients and consequent progression of liver injury. Remarkably, it has been reported that a severe vWF/ADAMTS13 imbalance develops during liver transplantation (LT) and persists even after LT. Such changes are thought to contribute to postoperative thrombotic complications, which may lead to early adverse events of thrombotic microangiopathy after living-donor LT (LDLT). We investigated whether vWFPCR could predict EAD or graft failure following LT and compared it with FVIIIPCR, procoagulant, such as vWF and FVIII and anticoagulant, such as PC.
