Tables

**Table 1.** Hemostatic Indices in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease
Index of hemostasis	Mean ± (SD)	Range	Proportion with derangement (%)
Platelet count (x 10⁹)	231.06 (152.96)	54 - 651	42.7
Bleeding Time (minutes)	4.21 (2.07)	2 - 11.2	8.5
PT (seconds prolonged)	2.53 (1.83)	-0.9 - 8.1	36.6
aPTT (seconds prolonged)	6.57 (4.56)	0.9 - 23.2	22.6
