Anticoagulant therapy likely increases risk of bleeding in Gynura segetum-induced hepatic sinus obstruction syndrome.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 Februrary 10
This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of Gynura segetum (Tusanqi)-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) and the benefits and risks of anticoagulant therapy for Tusanqi-induced HSOS. This was a retrospective analysis of 49 patients with Tusanqi-induced HSOS who were treated with anticoagulation or standard therapy between July 2006 and December 2022. Clinical manifestations included abdominal pain (n = 47) and peritoneal or pleural effusion (n = 46); 2 patients died. Nineteen patients requested standard medical treatment, while 30 were treated with anticoagulants. HSOS resolved within 6 months in 22 patients but did not resolve in 27 patients. The resolution rate was higher in the anticoagulant than standard treatment group (P = .037). Logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of chronic liver disease or treatment increased the risk of poor outcomes. Bleeding complications occurred in 6 patients in the anticoagulant treatment group. Early diagnosis and anticoagulant treatment are beneficial for rapid recovery after Tusanqi-induced HSOS. However, anticoagulant treatment is associated with the risk of multisite bleeding.
