Detaillierte Beschreibung
This was a prospective, open-label, pilot interventional clinical study conducted on adult cirrhotic patients with radiologically confirmed portal vein thrombosis. A total of twenty-one patients were enrolled from the outpatient clinics of the Hepatology, Gastroenterology, and Infectious Diseases Department at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital between March 2024 and March 2025.
Before initiation of anticoagulation therapy, all participants underwent comprehensive baseline clinical and laboratory assessments, including detailed medical history with emphasis on bleeding and thrombotic risk, physical examination, complete blood count, liver and renal function tests, and baseline coagulation profile. Eligible patients were classified according to Child-Pugh score into class A or B.
Patients with Child-Pugh class A (n = 10) received warfarin 3 mg once daily, while patients with Child-Pugh class B (n = 11) received warfarin 2 mg once daily. Initial dosing was guided by Simcyp® model predictions and the closest commercially available strengths. Enoxaparin was administered as bridging therapy at a therapeutic dose of 1 mg/kg twice daily until achievement of the target INR.
During the warfarin initiation phase, daily INR monitoring was performed, and dose adjustments were carried out using standardized clinical titration principles until a stable therapeutic INR (2.0-3.0) was achieved on two consecutive measurements. Patients were closely monitored throughout the follow-up period for treatment-related adverse events, with particular emphasis on bleeding complications. Bleeding events were systematically assessed and classified as minor or major, in addition to monitoring for any thromboembolic events.

Intervention / Behandlung |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Child-Pugh Class A (n = 10)
Adult cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis received 3 mg warfarin oral once daily (Marevan® 3 mg, GSK, Egypt) Other Intervention (Bridging Therapy): Enoxaparin (1 mg/kg) subcutaneously twice daily until achievement of a stable therapeutic INR (2.0-3.0).
|
Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist approved for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders and was used in this study for anticoagulation in cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis.
|
|
Experimental: Child-Pugh Class B (n = 11)
Adult cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis received 2 mg warfarin oral once daily (2 tablets of Marevan® 1 mg, GSK, Egypt). Other Intervention (Bridging Therapy): Enoxaparin (1 mg/kg) subcutaneously twice daily until achievement of a stable therapeutic INR (2.0-3.0). |
