Article Synopsis
- Portosinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) is a new condition characterized by subtle liver microvascular damage that may lead to complications like portal hypertension, particularly in patients with sickle cell disease.
- A study found that 90.2% of liver biopsies from sickle cell patients showed signs of PSVD, with an average of 3.8 histopathological features per case.
- Chronic sickling of red blood cells may disrupt the liver's microvasculature, contributing to liver dysfunction, suggesting that these patients need more monitoring for complications related to PSVD.
