What causes vomiting in case of liver cirrhosis?
Patient: my husband was diagnoise with cirrosis liver  but now hasd thombosis swelling in the legs wel a vasculr doc said it appears he did have a large blood clot at his ankle on right leg that moved up and has caused severe damage to veins. that it explode in his stomach  So we don;t know if it is cirrosis or the blod clot making him throw up but they said he was almost dead reaching the hos, from loosing so much blood  can you help me at all?  Thankyou very much my number is 678-545-0893 if you can call Doctor: cirrhotic patients do have a prothrombotoc state, meaning they have a tendency to develop blood clots. But the clot in his leg can NOT explode!What happens is, as the liver shrinks, the flow of blood from veins from the stomach slows down, causing them to swell up. This is the site of bleeding in such patients.
