Monocytes play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammation and fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. Also, blood platelet, by connecting hemostasis and inflammatory processes, participate in the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases. Aim of the work: We aim to assess the expression of platelet monocyte aggregates and their relationship to both monocyte and platelet activation in peripheral blood in patients with HCV induced chronic liver disease in relation to the degree of hepatic insufficiency and haemostatic imbalance and their relevance in aggravating the acute attack of haematemesis in these patients ER -
