Overview
The incidence of portal vein thrombosis in cirrhotic patients is unknown. The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis is approximately 5000-10,000 per 100,000 in overall cases of portal hypertension in developed counties and 40,000 per 100,000 in developing countries. The overall mortality rate of portal vein thrombosis is less than 10% except for patients with malignancy or cirrhosis. Patients of all age groups may develop portal vein thrombosis. There is no racial predilection to portal vein thrombosis. Portal vein thrombosis affects men and women equally.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Prevalence
- The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis is approximately 5000-10,000 per 100,000 in overall cases of portal hypertension in developed counties and 40,000 per 100,000 in developing countries.[1][2]
- The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis is less than 1000 per 100,000 in patients with compensated cirrhosis, but is 8000-25000 per 100,000 in patients who are candidates for liver transplantation.[3][4][5]
Mortality rate
- The overall mortality rate of portal vein thrombosis is less than 10% except for patients with malignancy or cirrhosis.[1]
- The mortality rate of portal vein thrombosis in patients with malignancy or cirrhosis about 26%.[6]
- In patients with chronic portal vein thrombosis one-year survival alters from 80% to 95%, and 3-year survival varies from 75% to 90%.[7]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop portal vein thrombosis.[1]
- The incidence of portal vein thrombosis increases with age and it commonly affects individuals 66-70 years in men and 69-74 years in women.[2]
Race
- There is no racial predilection to portal vein thrombosis.
Gender
- Portal vein thrombosis affects men and women equally.[2]
