HEMATOLOGICAL STUDIES IN LIVER CIRRHOSIS

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and progressive condition marked by fibrosis and nodular regeneration of hepatic tissue, ultimately leading to hepatic failure. Besides the direct effects on liver structure and function, cirrhosis has systemic implications, particularly in hematological homeostasis. Hematological abnormalities are frequently observed in cirrhotic patients and may serve as markers of disease progression and complications. This article provides a comprehensive overview of hematological disturbances in liver cirrhosis, their underlying mechanisms, diagnostic tools, and clinical relevance in patient management.
