Key result
Vitamin K deficiency remains underestimated in critically ill patients, with correction limited to hemorrhagic complications.
Why the study?
Vitamin K deficiency in ICU patients remains an underestimated problem, with clinical approaches typically limited to correcting deficiency only in patients with hemorrhagic complications from vitamin K antagonists.
This review highlights that vitamin K deficiency in ICU patients is an underestimated problem and discusses its risk factors, prevention, and treatment.

Highlights an overlooked factor in critical care hemostasis; leaves open whether routine vitamin K screening or.
Maintaining hemostasis balance in critically ill patients is one of the most complex clinical challenges. Among many factors influencing coagulation, vitamin K is an essential cofactor in synthesis of key proteins of blood clotting system. Vitamin K deficiency in ICU patients is still a largely underestimated problem, and clinical approaches are limited to vitamin K correction only in patients with hemorrhagic complications via intake of vitamin K antagonists. This review is devoted to vitamin K deficiency in critically ill patients, including risk factors, prevention and treatment.
