TEG parameters reflected generally preserved function of the hemostatic system in patients with cirrhosis, with hypo- and hypercoagulable features in subsets of patients with specific underlying disease etiologies. Abnormalities in TEG parameters did however not predict bleeding, thrombosis, or risk of liver transplantation and/or death.
