Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the related risk factors ot the portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis.MethodsThirty-seven liver cirrhosis patients with PVT (PVT group) and 100 liver cirrhosis patients without PVT (control group) from Jan.2007 to Dec.2009 were enrolled.The clinical data of these patients were collected and the related risk factors of PVT were analyzed.ResultsThe increase of D-dimer,severe esophageal varices(EV) and portal hypertension gastropathy(PHG) were the risk factors of PVT in liver cirrhosis patients(OR =12.872,3.916 and 2.851).No significant correlation was found between sex,platelets,albumin and PVT.ConclusionsThe increase of D-dimer,severe EV and PHG are the main risk factors of PVT.The above examinations should be used to monitor patients with liver cirrhosis for early prevention and diagnosis of PVT.
