Liver transplantation is associated with major shifts in central blood volume; therefore, monitoring preload is essential. Filling pressures (central venous pressure or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure) do not reflect preload [right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) or left ventricular end

Afibrinogenemia is a rare hereditary coagulation disorder characterized by a propensity toward bleeding. A 21-year-old Hispanic woman with afibrinogenemia developed ascites, a distended abdomen, an enlarged liver, scleral icterus, and umbilical vein and abdominal wall vein distension. Computed tomog
Cirrhosis is associated with compromised hemostasis and coagulopathy during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). It has been suggested that hemostasis is better preserved during OLT in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) than other cirrhotic states. The aim of this study was to compare coagulation an
