Excerpt

Adequate anticoagulation is essential to achieve efficient and cost-effective renal and liver replacement therapy. However, critically ill patients with advanced liver cirrhosis are associated with low antithrombin III (ATIII) serum levels and increased tendency to both coagulation and bleeding disorder. Thus, we hypothesized that single-dose application of antithrombin III prolongs filter lifetime during renal and liver replacement therapy in critically ill patients with advanced liver cirrhosis without causing additional bleeding problems. …
