Risk factors of thrombosis in abdominal veins

Abstract: AIM:To estimate the prevalence of inherited and acquired thrombophilic risk factors in patients with abdominal venous thrombosis and to compare the risk factor profiles between Budd-Chiari syndromes (BCS) and splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT). METHODS: In this retrospective study, 36 patients with abdominal venous thrombosis were studied. The patients were divided into Budd-Chiari group (hepatic vein, IVC thrombosis) and splanchnic venous thrombosis group (portal, splenic, superior mesenteric veins) based on th… Show more

“…The present study shows that FVL was a major etiological factor for thrombosis in Egyptian BCS patients; 61.7% of patients in the present study had FVL, as compared to previous reports of 26%-36% on different poulations [1,14]. This might have been due the high frequency of FVL in the study region [15].…”

“…In the majority of pediatric cases, MSI is a consequence of hematological disease. We found only heterozygosis for MTHFR, but according to the literature the prevalence of this mutation in patients with venous thrombosis is similar to healthy controls . We were unable to identify an infective cause, despite high VCA‐IgG antibodies titers suggestive of a previous, recent infection.…”

“…In a similar retrospective study from South India in 36 patients with BCS and other groups of splanchnic venous thrombosis which included both pediatric and adult patients, none of them were associated with catheterization. 24 In large majority of patients, there was no other associated clinical condition precipitating thrombosis in the present series.…”
