| Main Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of prophylactic anticoagulation for the prevention of thrombotic events in hospitalized cirrhotic patients; Secondary Objective: 1.To assess prospectively the incidence of thrombotic events in hospitalized cirrhotic patients. 2. To assess the efficacy of low molecular weight heparin (HIBOR 3.500UI) in preventing thrombotic events in cirrhotic patients hospitalized. 3. To Identify risk factors for development of portal vein thrombosis and deep vein thrombosis in hospitalized patients. 4.To evaluate related morbidity and mortality thromboembolic events. 5. To Assess prophylactic anticoagulation levels by determining antiXa and antithrombin III. 6. To study the expression profile and functionality of the family of Toll-like receptors, I-FABP / IL6-IL8 / NO, endothelin and LPS-binding protein. 7. To evaluate the effect on liver fibrosis (by FibroScan®) and serum TGFB 8. To study the hepatocellular function estimated by the Child-Pugh scores and MELD ; Primary end point(s): Security prophylactic anticoagulation with Bemiparin (HIBOR®) for the prevention of vein thrombosis in patients with prolonged hospitalization ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 months | — |
