Objective To investigate the effect of the formation of portal vein thrombosis(PVT) on the nature course of liver cirrhosis(LC). Methods Patients with LC during 1995 2002 in our hospital were reviewed and forty eight cases of LC with PVT were included in the study. The PVT was diagnosed by color Doppler and/or CT. Fifty two cases of LC patients without PVT were chosen as controls. The liver function, coagulation function and the aspects of portal hypertension etc. were compared between these two groups. The average diameter of main portal vein(MPV) and spleen vein (SPV) were measured by color ultrasound. Results In 75.0% of patients, thrombosis happened gradually without symptoms, and 85.4% happened in the MPV trunks. The splenomegaly and width of MPV were the risk factors for the formation of PVT ( P = 0.003 and 0.010). In PVT group, the average width of MPV and SPV was 1.48 cm ?0.26 cm and 1.23 cm ?0.38 cm , respectively, significantly wider than 1.37 cm?0.22 cm and 1.05 cm ?0.30 cm in controls( P =0.037 and 0.031). In addition, larger size of spleen,more severe esophageal varices, higher rate of severe variceal haemorrhage and larger volume of ascites after portal vein thrombosis were shown in the study group( P
