Plasma von Willebrand factor levels predict in-hospital survival in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Circulating levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) predict mortality in patients with cirrhosis. We hypothesized that systemic inflammation in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) will stimulate endothelium, increase vWF levels, and ...
