In this study we report the data obtained from extensive haemostatic testing of 25 patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation and the results of an open randomized pilot trial of antithrombin III concentrate administration during surgery. Marked differences in transfusional needs and in pre- and intraoperative blood coagulation and fibrinolytic changes were observed between recipients with liver cirrhosis and those with primary biliary cirrhosis. In the former, the increases in tissue-type plasminogen activator activity, total euglobulin fibrinolytic activity, and fibrin-derived degradation products occurred earlier and were more marked, as were the signs of increased thrombin formation. Supplementation of antithrombin III concentrate during surgery failed to induce significant changes in the main parameters studied and in the transfusional needs.
