Decrease in 1-year Kidney Graft Size Predicts Inferior Outcomes After Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.

abstract：:Portal vein thrombosis is the most common cause of portal hypertension in noncirrhotic patients. Variceal bleeding is difficult to treat in these patients, especially those with prehepatic diffuse portal mesenteric thrombosis. In a patient with refractory esophagogastroduodenal variceal bleeding as a result of diffuse...
