The main purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of avatrombopag (the study drug under investigation) in increasing the amount of platelets (a type of cell found in the blood) in patients with chronic liver disease who need to have an elective procedure but have thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) related to the chronic liver disease. This study will look if avatrombopag has the ability to increase your platelet count high enough for you to have an elective procedure and lower theneed for procedure-related platelet transfusions.
