Patients presenting with chronic liver failure has a complex coagulation system balance, resulting from reduction in the majority of procoagulant and anticoagulant factors, opposed by preservation of thrombin generation. Thus, these patients are prone to develop hemorrhagic and thrombotic phenomena. The coagulation of cirrhotic patients have been classically evaluated by standard coagulation tests. Nevertheless, these tests present important limitations, as evaluation of plasmatic component only, and do not predict bleeding risk. The thromboelastometry is a point-of-care real-time coagulation system evaluation with the advantage of evaluating the cellular and plasmatic components of the coagulation and present a more comprehensive evaluation of blood coagulation, specially in cirrhotics. This technology is associated with reduced costs in diverse clinical settings.
