Potential contribution of the gut microbiota in the development of Portal vein thrombosis in liver cirrhosis

We characterized and compared the microbial community composition between cirrhosis with PVT and cirrhosis without PVT using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analyzed the relationships between fecal microbiota and coagulation function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between PVT development and gut microbiota and to provide a theoretical basis for improving gut dysbiosis in the treatment of PVT.
