Advances in Study on Risk Factors of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhosis / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Liver cirrhosis is a common gastrointestinal disease. Portal vein thrombosis( PVT ) can increase the mortality of patients with liver cirrhosis. Studies showed that increased D-dimer level,spleen thickness and Child-Pugh score are independent risk factors of PVT in liver cirrhosis. In addition,increased portal vein diameter,reduced portal vein blood velocity,elevated P-selectin level can predict the development of PVT after portal hypertension surgery. This article reviewed the advances in study on risk factors of PVT in liver cirrhosis.
