Living with Portal Vein Thrombosis

Eat a varied and balanced diet, including a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats.

Reduce salt intake. In decompensated phases of the disease, patients may have fluid retention (in the abdomen or arms and legs). Reducing salt intake helps reduce this retention and can improve symptoms. It is essential to follow the specific recommendations of the medical team to adapt the diet to individual needs.

Take regular exercise. Doing regular exercise is beneficial for general health. The intensity and duration of the exercise should be according to the capabilities and conditions of each person. Activities such as walking, swimming or yoga are all good options.
