cirrhosis patients do not spontaneously bleed mostly due to the fact that there is a concomitant decrease in anticoagulant factors such as protein C, protein S and antithrombin III (attributed to decreased hepatocyte function, increased consumption due DIC or hyperfibrinolysis, and vitamin K deficiency...
Vitamin D Binding Protein (VDBP)Several polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor () are associated with the occurrence of chronic liver disease. Here, we investigated the association between BsmI, ApaI, TaqI and FokIpolymorphisms and the severity of liver cirrhosis in relation to serum cytokine and...
Vitamin D deficiency is associ- ated with impaired muscle contractile function in the general population.(15) Although studies evaluating the role of vitamin D deficiency on frailty and sarco- penia in patients with cirrhosis are lacking, vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in patients with cirrhosis...

The available data on the influence of liver cirrhosis on vitamin K status in CF patients is scarce. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in cirrhotic CF subjects and to determine whether it correlates with liver cirrhosis.Krzyzanowska,...
The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) vitamin K in cirrhosis.This was a retrospective study of cirrhotic patients, not on anticoagulation, with administration of IV vitamin K and a baseline INR > 1.5. The primary outcome was the effectiveness of therapy ...
