Altered clot kinetics in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Altered clot kinetics in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Background. Emerging evidence has linked the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with an increased risk for cardiovascular events. We hypothesised that altered clot kinetics and platelet function may contribute to this increased risk. This study compared whole blood clotting kineti...
