Comparative Study for Coagulation-Fibrinolysis Parameters between in Ascitic Fluid and Plasma in Patients with Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis

In ascitic fluid, the levels of TAT, PIC and D-dimer were significantly higher than those levels in plasma. Moreover, plasma levels of both D-dimer and TAT were significantly decreased when the ascitic fluid was disappeared by treatment. On the other hand, plasma levels of PIC, were relatively not related whether the ascites was present or not. These results may indicate that the consumption of coagulation and fibrinolysis factors in plasma was induced by activated coagulation system in ascitic fluid.
