There is no evidence to establish the beneficial or harmful effects of vitamin K for upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver diseases
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in the course of liver cirrhosis. Vitamin K administration is used as a supplementary intervention, but it is unknown whether it benefits or harms patients with liver disease and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
