We describe the behavior of hemostatic variables in children with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and in a control pediatric population. Hereditary protein C (PC) or protein S (PS) deficiency was not a etiologic factor for PVT in children. Minor signs of consumption of coagulation factors II, V, fibrinogen and hyperfibrinolysis were detected. One child had lupus anticoagulant (LA).
