Core Tip	This study on thrombophilia in 1079 patients with liver cirrhosis showed that PAI-1 4G-4G and MTHFR C677TT were statistically more frequent in 350 patients with no viral liver cirrhosis vs 729 patients with viral liver cirrhosis. In the same patients, PAI-1 and MTHFR 677 genotypes deviated from that expected from a population in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. PAI-1 4G-4G and MTHFR 677TT could be considered as factors increasing the inflammation response mecha-nisms, causing fibrogenesis and augmented intrahepatic vascular resistance, typical of liver cirrhosis. New drug therapies based on the attenuation of these mechanisms could be very easily evaluated in these patients.
