Factor Related


Evaluation

  • PT prolongation
    • Decreased synthesis of vitamin K-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X)
  • Thrombocytopenia
    • Portal hypertension → congestive hypersplenism → splenic sequestration
  • Fibrinolysis increased
    • Due to decreased synthesis of alpha2 plasmin inhibitor
    • Low fibrinogen level, mild elevation of FDP and D-dimer


Management

Lab abnormalities only (with out significant bleeding)

  • Observation


Significant bleeding

  • Vitamin K PO or IV
  • Desmopressin
    • Effective with minimal side effects
    • 0.3mg/kg IV (preferred) or SC (max 20mg)
