Abstract

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the severe complications of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).PVT deteriorates the liver and its dysfunction increases the risk of bleeding, influencing the prognosis ofpatients with liver cirrhosis and HCC. The aim of our study was to investigate whether D-dimer testingcould be a sensitive marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC patients with PVT.
