Sažetak

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with
a number of extrahepatic comorbidities and considerable
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which is possibly
related to coagulation changes associated with metabolic
syndrome. Coagulation disorders are common in patients
with liver disease of any etiology, and here we review possible alterations in coagulation cascade specific to NAFLD.
We discuss derangements in the coagulation cascade and
fibrinolysis, endothelial dysfunction, and platelet abnormalities as possible culprits for altered coagulation and explore the significance of these changes for potential treatment targets
