Pre-transplant portal vein thrombosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients-pathogenesis, risk factors, and implications on management.
Along with the worldwide increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe subset, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are on path to become the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States. NAFLD, as well as obesity, create an inflammatory milieu via the release of adipocytokines. In turn, the inflammatory environment can trigger an increase in prothrombotic factors. Independent of inflammation, the severity of NASH is associated with a graded increase in hypercoagulability such as an increase in factor VIII, increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and decrease in protein C. Ultimately, this environment creates an increase in thrombotic risk, leading to higher rates of pre-transplant portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with NASH cirrhosis vesus other causes of cirrhosis. Many studies have shown worse outcomes in liver transplant recipients with PVT as it complicates anastomotic reconstruction which can negatively affect portal blood supply needed for adequate liver functioning. Management and treatment of PVT is not standardized, but from a pharmacologic standpoint, multiple classes of anticoagulants have shown to be successful in recanalization of the portal vein and preventing recurrence of clot with minimal bleeding complications. The increasing prevalence of NASH cirrhosis and subsequent increase in PVT require further research for improved outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Transl Gastroenterol Hepatol; TGH; Online ISSN 2415-1289) is an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal that focuses on cutting-edge findings in the field of translational research in gastroenterology and hepatology and provides current and practical information on diagnosis, prevention and clinical investigations of gastrointestinal, pancreas, gallbladder and hepatic diseases. Specific areas of interest include, but not limited to, multimodality therapy, biomarkers, imaging, biology, pathology, and technical advances related to gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases. Contributions pertinent to gastroenterology and hepatology are also included from related fields such as nutrition, surgery, public health, human genetics, basic sciences, education, sociology, and nursing.
