Abstract
Hemostatic alterations in cirrhosis concern both pro- and antihemostatic pathways and the net result is a rebalancing of the hemostatic system, albeit with narrower margins. This delicate balance will become precarious when the system is heavily challenged such as during liver transplantation. The balance may than be turned to either hypocoagulation or hypercoagulation, making patients with cirrhosis both prone to bleeding as well as thromboembolic complications.
