Platelet aggregation as a thrombotic marker in cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis
Platelet aggregation is significantly higher in cirrhotic PVT patients compared to non-PVT patients. Additionally, elevated vWF-Ag level is an independent risk factor for PVT development in cirrhotic patients. These findings suggest the role of platelet activation in the pathogenesis of PVT and could enhance critical care strategies in patient management and prevention of PVT.
