Heparin Like Effect in Acute Variceal Bleeding

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study attempts to clarify the pathophysiology of haemostasis in relation to the evidence of sepsis in liver disease, and compares the accuracy of various available laboratory tests in assessment of these patients. Further research is needed for proper understanding of the influence of sepsis on coagulation disorders in acute variceal bleeding in cirrhosis, to correctly identify the type and optimal quantity of blood product requirement in at risk patients. Thromboelastography (TEG) /Sonoclot has been proposed as a superior tool to rapidly diagnose and help guide resuscitation with blood products. Secondly, the study of derangement in coagulopathy after the onset of sepsis is of paramount importance because of increased mortality after the onset of sepsis. In the present study, patients with cirrhosis who present with acute variceal bleeding, will be included in the study cohort, and will undergo a baseline diagnostic workup as described. They will be followed for development of any signs of infection after hospitalization. Then the effect of sepsis on their coagulation and thrombin generation response swill be assessed. Thus the effect of sepsis on the progression and outcome of coagulopathy in patients with acute variceal bleeding will be studied.
