Abstract
Portal hypertension is defined as an increased pressure within the portal circulation and is defined as such by determining the pressure difference between the systemic and portal circulation. Under physiological conditions, this gradient is less than 5 mmHg, but higher values lead to worsening of the underlying disease and other complications. The most common causes are cirrhosis, NAFLD, schistosomiasis, intoxication and others, although these vary according to age and geographical location. Understanding the pathogenesis is key to treatment, as there are several therapeutic options to prevent and treat portal hypertension. The therapies of choice are the introduction of non-selective beta-blockers, endoscopic variceal ligation and implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. They are aimed at the most serious complications such as variceal bleeding, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy.
