A member asked:
Can thrombophlebitis or pylephlebitis lead to having diabetes type 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No direct relation: Thrombophlebitis is vein inflammation from a blood clot. Clots can travel to the lung and be fatal. Pylephlebitis is an ascending infection to the portal vein in the liver and is life threatening. Diabetes II involves cell insensitivity to insulin. Some remote reaction to blood thinners or antibiotics or critical illness might result in diabetes but is not common.
