Overview

If left untreated, patients with portal vein thrombosis may progress to develop portal cavernoma, gastric or esophageal varices/bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, splenomegaly, portal biliopathy, and cholangiopathy. Depending on the extent of the model for end-stage liver disease score at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • There is usually subclinical prothrombotic state in about in about 72% of idiopathic portal vein thrombosis.
  • If left untreated, patients with portal vein thrombosis may progress to develop portal cavernoma, gastric or esophageal varices/bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, splenomegaly, portal biliopathy, and cholangiopathy.[1]

Complications

Prognosis

  • The 1 year mortality rate of patients with chronic portal vein thrombosis is approximately 80%-95% and the 3 year mortality rate of patients with chronic portal vein thrombosis is approximately 75%-90%.[7][8][9]
  • Mortality in patients with cancer or cirrhosis in one year is 26% and those without cancer or cirrhosis is 8%.[3]
  • Depending on the extent of the model for end-stage liver disease score at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[10]
  • Morbidity and mortality is associated with following factors:[7]
