KDR and Thrombocytopenia: In this study, we compared the expressions of proangiogenic growth factors (VEGF, PDGF, bFGF) and their receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, FGFR2) over the gastric ulcer margin between cirrhotic patients with thrombocytopenia and those of non-cirrhotic patients without thrombocytopenia.
