Portal vein thrombosis in patients with liver cirrhosis and its impact on early and long-term outcomes after liver transplantation.
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication amongst patients with liver cirrhosis. The PVT risk factors and its impact on post liver transplant outcome has not been well defined, yet. This study aimed to investigate PVT prevalence, its risk factors and influence on early and long-term outcomes after liver transplantation. ⋯ Portal vein thrombosis prevalence is high in pretransplant period. NASH related cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus might be risk factors for PVT. More intense screening of these patients for PVT is warranted.
