Abstract
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is divided into cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic PVTs. The incidence rate of PVT varies greatly among different clinical stages of cirrhosis, with an overall incidence rate of about 13.92%, and the prevalence of cirrhotic PVT following splenectomy is as high as 60%. The pathogenesis of cirrhotic PVT is still unclear. However, the activation of Janus kinase/signal transduction and activator transcription signaling pathways, the rise in the expression of von Willebrand factor, and the gut microbiota along with its metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide play an important role in the injury of vascular endothelial cells and the formation of PVT in cirrhosis. Therefore, these could be a new target for cirrhotic PVT prevention and treatment.
