| Core Tip |
Lusutrombopag is an oral, small-molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist used for the treatment of thrombocytopenic patients with chronic liver diseases. However, the response to this drug is unpredictable. The study aimed to assess the correlation between the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic liver disease and the efficacy of lusutrombopag treatment. Splenic volume influences the change in platelet counts after administration of lusutrombopag in patients with chronic liver disease. Splenic volume increase is negatively related to changes in the platelet count. |
