Abstract:
Portal hypertension is a common complication of chronic liver diseases and is responsible for most of the clinical consequences of cirrhosis.Accurate assessment of portal venous pressure is essential for the designing of treatment strategy and judging of prognosis.Measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for evaluating portal venous pressure, however, it is an invasive procedure and is hard to be performed routinely in clinical practice.Therefore, it is urgent to explore a noninvasive method for assessing portal venous pressure.Recent evidence highlights that biochemical parameters, transient elastography, CT, MRI and the conjoint analysis model of multiple parameters have the potential diagnostic value.This article reviewed the advances in study on noninvasive assessment of portal venous pressure.
