Portal vein thrombosis - what does this mean
Portal vein thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot forms in the portal vein, the main vein that carries blood from the intestines to the liver. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including liver cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and blood clotting disorders. it can also be caused by trauma to the portal vein, or by an obstruction of the vein due to a tumor or an enlarged spleen. symptoms of portal vein thrombosis include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and jaundice.
What happens during the disease - portal vein thrombosis
Portal vein thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot, or thrombus, forms in the portal vein, which is the major vein that carries blood from the intestines and spleen to the liver. this thrombus can block the flow of blood, leading to an increase in pressure in the portal system and a decrease in the amount of blood flowing to the liver. this can cause a buildup of toxins, inflammation, and scarring in the liver, leading to complications such as portal hypertension, abdominal pain, and liver failure.
