Characterization of Biomarkers of Hemostasis and Bleeding-Related Outcomes in Children With Cirrhosis

Children with cirrhosis had defects in fibrinogen and platelets compared to children without cirrhosis at time of LT; however, these abnormalities did not translate into higher rates of bleeding in the former. Adults with cirrhosis had more defects in clotting factors compared to children with cirrhosis.
